wtf?? today my gauge was working fine until i went to a buddies shop parked my car outside for like 2-3 hours then i hop in turn my car on and the gauge is sitting at 0... it usually idles at 20 vac or so. i think my gauge is fried! and its barely 2 weeks old, i checked the lines but everything is connected. could the heat have killed my gauge? it was sitting in the sun for a bit

hm... i get the same sometimes but it could be a boost leak that I have. Once I rev the motor it picks up.. hmm. But I also noticed, it happens on hot/warm days hmm. What do you think?

[EDIT] This used to happen when I had an autometer gauge, the new owner of the gauge never reported any kind of problems, that's why I always assumed it was the vac. line. I will be attempting to do a boost leak test this weekend if kimletrim has his boost leak tester available. I will report on Monday if I can test my car.
