Default Gauge Fail

Hey guys,

I know this will be a pretty straight forward answer but i'm a mechanical nub so...

I have a vaccum gauge in my 01 cl1 accord euro r and at the moment it is not working. When the car turns on and i switch on the lights the gauge lights up but when driving the needle doesn't budge. Please post possible scenarios and solutions to solving this problem. All info is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Default Re: Gauge Fail

Check the vacuum connection to the intake manifold, perhaps there's some residual oil from the PCV gases that have accumulated and blocked the flow.

Or could be as simple as the hose being disconnected.

I would check everything that involves the gauges operation, then try another gauge to see if it's faulty. Who makes it?
