Default HELP: fuel pressure gauge going nuts!

my b&m fuel presssure gauge has been going nuts today

it jumps up and down from 20-60psi like a maniac
it oscillates sooo fast that it makes a really harsh sound gargling sound that i can hear from inside the cabin...

it normally only happens when i'm not accelerating and when i'm idling especially...

help... could it be too tight or maybe too loose? should i tighten it some more?

b16 00 si
jrsc 6psi

get a liquid filled one. i've allready been through this. actually, from vibration my b&m one was off by 15psi. the moving back and forth means its on its last leg.
