got this installed a few months ago...
recently i noticed it's been acting weird.

sometimes when i turn the key to on but leave the engine off the pressure guage will jump around -5kpa to 0 rapidly...normally it should be sitting at 0kpa

when i WOT half the time the guage doesn't go to 0...it will max out around around -5kpa.

all other times the guage appears to be normal...it idles around -75 to -78kpa...guage is around -60 to -70 when cruising

any ideas? could my map sensor be on its way out?

dont know whether uve ever noticed this before,but atmospheric pressure aint constant,even at sea level,so dont expect to have your gauge set to read atmospheric & see a constant 0kPa all the time.

if its really jumpy & inconsistent in those last little 5kPa then u could just have a poor wiring joint or poor ground somewhere.

if car runs fine,then dont worry about it,just see if u can set it to absolute pressure & be done with it.

car runs fine.fuel consumption is good too, around 9L/100km average. maybe my injectors need an ultrasonic clean or engine needs a carbon clean as i notice response issues sometimes...

it's just odd how the pressure sometimes flickers between -5 and 0kpa with the engine off. other times when i turn on the AFC it sits on 0kpa no problems
