    What kind of gauge? Mechanical or Electrical? Regulator might be going bad or it might be a faulty gauge.

    its a autometer mechanical i dont think its the gauge though .The reason i say this is when i take the fuse out of my inline the pressire stays steady.Any other thoughts? Oh and Boner the gray capri damn sure doesnt want any of the black gt without one hell of a big shot! But if i dont get these damn fuel issues worked i guess iam fair game for just about anything

    If it is a mechanical gauge, then sounds like the regulator is taking a dump.

    My car was losing pressure too, on the dyno. We found a faulty fuse holder to my T-rex was the cause, replaced it and it was good to go. Easy check with a test light.

    What is your boost/vac gauge doing when this happens? If that is fluctuating then your fp will fluctuate. Is the idle steady or is it going up and down slightly?
