The fuel pressure regulator is inside the fuel tank on Neons. This is how they get away with only running a fuel send line without a return line.

On one end of the fuel rail, there's a small black cap. If you unscrew that, there's a test port that you can attach a pressure gauge to. I think you should have about 45psi at idle. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I'll correct you. The '05's don't have a test port.

Just buy a 255lph. They are barely more expensive, and give you some more headroom.

It's not inside the tank, it's on top of the sending unit. You can change it in 15min.
