I'm getting the usual ~10psi for every 1000rpm.
I did have to use a brass adapter and its on there pretty tight. I used teflon tape on the adapter itself but the sensor plug had thread locker on it.
Anyone know why its reading at 0psi? Car is mechanically sound as far as I know. Idles beautifully, etc. I'm thinking it might just not be a very accurate gauge? |
That would be my guess.
