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.
