boost gauge
Installed my autometer phantom 2 boost gauge this weekend. and it seems to stick from 5-15 psi. if i tap it it will will work till i let off the throttle. Is it a defective gauge? or is this normal? Also it is shakey at max psi. please help!!!

no major kinks or bends in the tubing. its wierd because 98% of the time my gauge is jumpy and sticks from 5-15 but every great once in awhile it works. im getting tired of tapping it!!!

i believe auto meter has a one year warranty. I had an egt phantom ll gauge go bad.. it was about 3 years old when i called autometer. They said to mail the gauge to them and they could test it. I did, and waited. two weeks later i called to see if they got it. they said yes, and it was bad and they are sending me a new one back. they sent me a complete brand new one with the egt probe and all. i was only out 5 bucks for shipping it to them. hope they take care of ya like they did me.

I have run those gauges for 5 years without seeing that issue. If you just got it, get a hold of autometer. They stand behind thier product and will replace it. Good luck!!

ok so now it will work say 4% of the time. lol but recently it just started sticking until around 20 psi. i checked all tubing and connections, removed all teflon tape on connections and put on antiseize drops made sure all connections were tight. now im really thinking its a bad gauge....? more opinions please!!!
