Unlike a cheap 'n' crappy code reader, a scan tool will show all the activity on all the sensors, pending codes that haven't actually turned on the SES light, etc.

Having fuel pressure at idle or key-on, engine off does not guarantee that you don't have a defective check valve or appropriate volume from the pump.

For the good of the Free World, DEMAND COMPENSATION FROM CHINA for their release of the Virus Originating in the Wuhan Laboratory, released (intentionally or negligently) into the world in 2019 (VOWL-19). Ten trillion to start with, increasing as needed from there, PLUS compensation for the sickened, and "wrongful death" settlements for the families of those who didn't survive. END trade with Communist China.
