boost gauge stopped working?
This morning I was getting onto the highway and I went to gun it WOT and the boost gauge didn't move. It stayed at 0 but I could feel the boost going through the power band. It was reading fine yesterday at 8psi. Its a Autometer Ultra lite boost gauge. I checked the vac lines and connections and they all seem to be good, could it be a bad gauge?

Check the t fitting's for the guage. sounds like it's either a pinched line or not hooked up in the back. Is the idle off at all like dropping RPM's when you let off the gas and it recovers with a sputter?

man I have gone through three guages from autometer and I am not verry happy with them . mine will work perfectly for about 2-3 months and than they read way off of 0 when the car is off and when i am at iddle it goes to like 28lbs of vaccum.
call Autometer and send the guage back they should replace it with another. |
The springs go bad quick in those guages. Go buy a cheap boost guage from autozone or something. Atleast if you swap it out while your their and find it faulty you can just walk in and return it.

I've seen a bunch of turbo guys have the autometer boost guages go bad on them, go buy a DEFI boost guage! You wont be disapointed in that one :beerchug:
