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
hondata 3b
aem fpr
walbro fuel pump
rc eng 440

Re: HELP: fuel pressure gauge going nuts! (JAY)
hmm good question
i never really pay attention...but i know i never punch it when its going up and down like that...
i'd have to say no, it does not drive any differently when its jumping up and down...
any ideas?

maybe i'll try that as a last resort...
anyone have any ideas how to fix this??
other forums have recommended me to loosen it...

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.
