I'm having a problem with my T5
It starts and ticks over fine and drives ok at low revs but when you floor it, it splutters and holds back then kind of jerks forward with little bursts of power.
I've had the codes read and they state "low fuel pressure"
I've tried:
fuel pressure sensor
new plugs
fuel filter
I think the next course of action is to measure the pressure but i'm struggling to find a guage that will fit.

Will this work? will it read a high enough pressure?
How do I measure the pressure? just connect the guage at idle and measure, then rev and measure?
I can't see how you could do it driving?
What pressure should I be looking for at idle and at a certain amount of revs?
If the pressure is low i'm thinking it either has to be the fuel pressure regulator or pump?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, really frustrated with this.
