I have a boost gauge and apexi tt in my car and it was fine until today it did something weird.

I started the car and the boost needle stayed at 0 it stay there until I shifted to 2nd then it started working again. All the hoses seem to be fine , anyone know why this happend? it happend again the second time I turned on the car, stayed at 0 till i shifted to 2nd then back to normal.

IF anyone knows what causing this please let me know , Share

what type of defi gauge is it? if electrical i would check your wiring, mechanical i would check for kinks.

my Defi D gauge does the same thing every once in a while. I'm wondering if its something to do with Humidity or Heat or something.

It's gotta be something in the vacuum line somewhere. I find it unlikely that the Mechanical gauges are mimicing a problem with Electrical ones, and even more unlikely the other way around. The only thing they share is the vacuum lines.

I've checked mine to make sure there are no leaks, and no cracks or anything. So I dunno.
