The Schrader valve for the fuel rail is on the back of the intake manifold near the fuel pressure regulator. I don't know what year you have, but on a 93, the valve is on the driver side of the intake manifold.

Be prepared to have plenty of fuel come out when you depress the needle. If you have a fuel pressure gauge with a pressure relief tube, that would be better.

You can never go wrong by refering to Shoebox's Tech pages:

Schrader valve

Pressing the valve core relieves the pressures in the lines. You might also want to unscrew the gas cap to release any pressure buildup in the tank.
