Try your very very best to stay away from cheap made China parts. These products never fit properly, and although the manufaturers claim a verifiable "dynoed" gain, most of them don't even know what a dyno is. They simply take a US R&D'd product and feably attempt to copy and mass produce.

To more specifically answer your question, the springs in cheap FPRs are not much better than those found in push-type ball point pens. Hence, they cannot properly hold a steady fuel pressure.

As for your gauge, check for any debris blocking the passag to the gauge.

Good luck!
