MadeInJapan Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 You could have a pinched line to the gauge. When I first installed mine it would do this. After I shut the car off and tapped on the side of the gauge it "zeroed up." I figured it was pinched and keeping some air in the line. So I took the gauge out of the pod and found that in attaching the pod, I had pinched the line. Got the line out of the way and clear and my problem was solved.

96PlatinumEdition850 Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 Take the face off the gauge and adjust the needle yourself. That's all I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USMC850T Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Don't try and screw with it just send it back. My zero point would float anywhere from -10" to +4psi, it's a defective batch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
