Ok guys I'm having problems checking the fuel pressure on my 97 exp 4.o sohc. It has a problem with startup most times when I'm starting as I have to crank it over to build fp till it starts. Or I can cycle ign 3 times to purge fp and it will always start right off. The issue I have is when I screw my fp gauge to the port it doesn't go all the way down to press the schrader valve to check the pressure. Do they make a longer schader or can a person shim the valve up from the seat it screws into? It does the same thing on my 02 F-350 V-10 when checking fp as well.
