[V8] Is This FPR?

[cobram at juno.com]

Test the fuel pressure and residual pressure.  It's pretty easy and
outlined in detail in the manual, the hardest part being digging up an
adapter for the BMW fuel pressure test kit that BMP sells.  Best $60
you'll ever spend (if you haven't already.)  Shot gunning on the V8Q can
get expensive and frustrating.
