boost/vac gauge questions
i installed a auto meter boost/vac gauge on my integra the other day and heres the thing.
- vac reads at 22
- when i step on the gas pedel the vac needle does not go towards 0
- when i full throttle it in 1st gear it takes about 2 sec for the neddle to jump to 0 (its stays at 22 then just jumps up to 0 rite away after 2 sec)
- full throttle in any other gear vac does not go towards 0
so what should i check for? or is the gauge broken? i bought it brands spankin new so ya

22 is about normal.
about it not moving correctly. are you sure a line is not pinched somewhere.
check near the firewall

Where are you getting your vac. source from?
If I had to guess, I'd say you installed it on the brake booster line AFTER the inline check valve and the check valve is keeping any vacuum from escaping.

Re: (soontobeboost)
got it to work. i noticed that only when i hit around 6k rpm that it will jump to zero... so then i realized that i t'ed off where the butterfly valve is at. so then i un t'ed that and t'ed it to antother vacume line and all works fine now.
