Intermittent no start

My 2001 V10 Ex has an issue where sometimes it will have a crank/no start condition. It is very random and can happen after it sits for a while, or after it was just ruining. I think it may be fuel because when it does this it will actually fire for a second and then die. After this I get the crank/no start. So far it has always started again after multiple cranks and then will be fine for some time. What I want to do is check for fuel pressure when this happens. I looked and there does not seem to be a schrader on the fuel rail, so where do I have to hook up my tester?

No, and it hasn't done it again. I have a fuel pressure gauge ready but don't know where to hook it up to see when the issue happens again if it is getting fuel.

Passenger side fuel rail near the back there should be a schrader valve.

That is great. I really didn't look that good last time because I didn't have the tester yet. Thanks!!!
