oil pressure gauge problem

[jed344]

ok first off i got a set of prosport gauges. egt, oil press, oil temp. and piller pod for cheap like im talking 100 bucks with everything from a buddy. well i wired um all up today and they all light up and work accept for the oil press it lights up and will sweep up but wont sweep back down with car running it will sit at 0 but when i rev it goes up to 110 and sits till car idles down im thinking the gauge is bad sence it wont do full sweep at start any opinons? egt gauge is comming out tomorow for my autometer ultralight boost gauge anyway.

I had that happen with my old boost gauge, but that was because when I changed the pod it was stuck and I hsd to smack it to get it out. It would go up, but then not come down anymore. It didn't come back down after I shut off the car though. . . I just bought a new gauge. I didn't really like the looks of it before anyway. Also, is it possible that the gauge face isn't all the way tight? If the face is rubbing against the needle that could effect the needle from sweeping, whether it's touching the spindle or the actual needle sweep. Turning off the car just stops all of the signal, so it might have more force to bring it back down. Let me know if any of that helps.

mine does come back down when i shut it off

Have you checked if it fluctuates a little if you tap on the face while it's running? Then you can figure out if it's being restricted manually, or electrically.

doesnt move when i tap it but sometimes at idle the needle will try to jump back done and go back up
