I have a 2006 E-250, trying to check fuel pressure to determine if the pump is weak or there is other issues. Van has a hard time starting when left overnight, and has moderate starting problems when warm. Cannot find an area on the fuel rail to hook up a gauge. I have already changed the fuel filter twice, and I changed the spark plugs at 100k. Suggestions?

If it is not equipped with a shrader valve, you would need appropriate fittings to hook up between the supply hose and fuel rail or filter.
