Why do you want to do a fuel pressure test? I am sure you are right there isn't a shrader valve. A fuel pressure testing kit will have a selection of adapters to allow you to tap in. I would be surprised is your HRV has a fuel pressure problem. What kind of problems are you having? Fault codes?
Fuel Pressure Test
Has anyone done a fuel pressure test and can share any details on how to approach it? This is for a HRV 2016 (2WD). Any similar videos I have seen are for other Honda models where the fuel pressure regulator is under the hood or the Fuel Pump/Filter is in an easier to access location. For the 2016 model it's below the center console and I'm hoping there's a way to do the pressure test without removing all of that.
The manual is not really clear at all. I want to assume this can be done somewhere along the fuel feed hose before the fuel rail but I'm not certain since I don't see anything like a schrader valve.

No fault codes, unfortunately I don't think that is very reliable for this model since several issues in the past didn't trigger a fault code.Why do you want to do a fuel pressure test?

As for the current issue, I'm just trying to rule out the Fuel pump/filter since it's the only thing that I haven't checked and according to the service manual it's now at the point where the filter should be replaced anyway. That said, I don't want to change it if I don't have to hence the post. The vehicle jerks forward when the gas is released or slowing to a stop. Of course my first thought was the throttle body but I've since had that cleaned along with the MAF Sensor and Oxygen sensor. No luck finding the cause
Got a reference or screenshot to back this up?according to the service manual it's now at the point where the filter should be replaced anyway.
AFAIK there isn't any recommended replacement interval on a modern Honda's filter, which is usually integrated into the fuel pump. A low pressure fuel pump will affect full-throttle situations, not decel.
Any possibility that the CVT is causing your issue? When was the last time you replaced the fluid?
If you have a manual trans I apologize in advance.
The symptoms you describe are do not point to a fuel pump or fuel filter problem at all. Poor fuel delivery shows up at high RPMS and full throttle first because that is when fuel demand is high. By the time you have a problem with the accelerator released when fuel demand is miniscule, the car won't run at all at highway speed. Despite your having cleaned the throttle body, I would be suspicious of it. This car needs an examination of the datastream for the engine performed with a professional level scan tool.No fault codes, unfortunately I don't think that is very reliable for this model since several issues in the past didn't trigger a fault code.
