I'm looking to install either a fuel pressure gauge or buy a tester. What is the best option. I took my e30 to a mechanic because it likes to die on the freeway! Guess what my car didn't do while he had it.... That's right I'm back to fixing it myself! So I'm starting with fuel....

What engine?
Connection on the fuel pump tight/clean?
Cat old?
fouling plugs?
Rotting ground wire?
Usually this would be signs of a clogging fuel filter. After letting the car sit for a while or cool down, the sediment in the filter is allowed to settle thus giving you plenty fuel pressure until it slowly clogs back up. and if this is the case, your tank might be rotting.
