Fuel Pressure

[AllInn]

I would like to install a fuel pressure guage on my 2006 Charger with the 3.5 liter engine.  Has anyone does this that could offer tips and advice?

Any reason why you are doing this? 

you would have to put a fitting in line with the end of the fuel system by the injectors.

do they make a kit, doubtful, not commonly done for your application

You car should have a test port. You can stick a gauge on one of these:

If you want a gauge inside the car it's better to just buy a whole kit. But be careful messing with the fittings as modern EFI systems run at a high pressure and any leak will likely end in a fire or explosion.

I concur , but save your money and do another mod.  no reason for it on that car.

Wanted to be able to check fuel pressure for troubleshooting.  I have searched for a fuel guage fitting but have not found one on the engine.

It's called a "test port". You may or may not have one (I believe later models may not as it sounds like it's gone for the 2007 model year).

May help:

Call  Edge and ask if the insight would give you fuel pressure, I have an insight on my 05 Cummins and it tells me fuel pressure and a load of other things, ~$350 or so and can hook a back up camera to it and read and clear trouble codes and set alerts for a bunch of stuff, its a spiffy miglacotty but pricey
