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.
