Default Checking fuel pressure 3vzfe

Hey, I just need a couple quick pointers. I'm trying to test the fuel pressure on my 93 Camry with a 3vz-fe. 3 was driving home and slowed down to go through a turn and when I tried to get up to speed, it hesitsted severely and then eventually died. Towed it home, and it was starting but would immediately lag and die within a 4-5 seconds. If I tried to give it gas, it would die immediately. Now it won't start up at all . It's just working the starter. So, I assume it is something to do with the fuel system. However, I don't know where to hook up the fuel pressure tester. Any of y'all have any suggestions as to what may be going on? Thank you so much in advanced, and sorry for the long read!

Find the fuel filter in the engine compartment (looks like a can). One end of the can has a hose fitting connected by a banjo fitting. The pressure gauge banjo fitting installs at this point using a longer banjo bolt.

Need to find a pressure gauge set that includes this banjo fitting attachment (which is common).

Might check the fuel pump,

Sweet, thanks man. I have the fuel pump ready to come out (seat and carpet pulled back, with the fuel pump cover exposed). Just want to check to make sure it ain't getting pressure before I buy a new one
