A 2018 Cadillac Escalade with a 6.2L V8 has a fuel pressure drop at crank, causing no-start, and the owner cannot determine if it's a mechanical injector problem, ECM fault, or wiring issue.

Existing diagnostic tools require manually isolating injector banks and interpreting live data without guided workflows, making it hard to pinpoint the root cause.
