Paul,
Welcome aboard!
I think you'll find the members of the board will be more than able to give you some good suggestions about your problems. It's always a good idea to be as specific as possible when describing a problem, including model, year, fuel system, and any pertinent information about the specific problem or symptoms.
In this case, "pressure" usually is interpreted as oil pressure. 210 PSIG oil pressure would be WAY off the gauge. If you have metric gauges, or if you were talking about temperature instead of pressure, that would make a big difference. Any help?
