short answer, in the gastank.
we check fuel pressure at the fuel rail .
if good, the pump is good.
the FSM covers this in vivid details.
or at alldata.com...
The
2TR-FE is a 2.7L
I4 gasoline engine. It features
DOHC, 16 valves and
VVT-i . Its power is 159 hp (119 kW) at 5,200 rpm, and 180 lbf·ft (244 N·m) of torque at 3,800 rpm with redline of 5500 rpm.
this engine?
this is used on our tundra. but that dont help ,as yours may have
different EFI , in your country.
you should get the FSM for your car and your country.
on the trundra we must pull the tank to get the pump out.
draining fuel and lots of labor for nothing...
why do that.
we just attach the fuel pressure gauge at the fuel rail
and check pressure,
in fact we do all 6 tests listed in the FSM.
:shut tests. presssure tests. , and regulator test , and leakdown test.
and injector balance tests.
most can not be done, right back aft as you are working the front.
40.8 to 41.7 psi) idle fuel pressure
5min. leak down test, 147 kPa (1.5 kgf/cm2, 21 psi) or more
data is for tundra of simular engines.
if the rail tap is missing, this works.

some factories save $5 by not having a test port.
this is the first part i buy for all my own cars.
for MPI engines. all.
many cars have a schrader valve present on the rail.
my jeep dont , i must used miller tool, 6539
do research online for your fuel rail needs and adapter.
i must have tool to do the injector balance test.
impossible to do unless you have 2 people. 1 under car
and one at rail.
