Re: accel pressure gauge
If it is the same Fuel pressure gauge (since you never specified) that I have, it is junk. Replace the gauge with a Shock Proof one.

Re: accel pressure gauge
Oh yes. Its the 74745 part # is it that bad i just wanted to keep this all accel since i have the complete superram to the wire loom separate from accel brand i bought this second hand but to the point. A shock proof one is a good suggestion

Re: accel pressure gauge
They are junk get rid of it. Mine started leaking after a few years. They are not designed to be left in place permanently.

Re: accel pressure gauge
That's true not designed to stay on permanently but i hope mine works so when its all good i can get my car tuned and get a good psi reading after that I'll just keep it stored for future tuning

Re: accel pressure gauge
I find it funny. The that Accel makes mounts the pressure gauge on the fuel rail. I have one and it awesome. Anyway, the instructions state that it is "for diagnostic/temporary installation only", or something to that affect. But to install this kit, you have to remove the schrader valve out of the port on the fuel rail. Sounds like a permanent install to me. Mine has never leaked, T-tape FTW.
Gauge is reading 0 because my fuel system bleeds off pressure after engine is shut down.
