03 Cobra Fuel Pressure Gauge?
Hi guys,
Installed electrical fuel pressure gauge, but not sure if the gauge is working right.
When the car is running (idle or driving) the arrow inside is jumping, give or take by 5 psi, non-stop.
Is this normal in mustangs or just particular to cobras? Or is this normal at all.
Thanks

"Is the gauge liquid filled??" = It's not.
I should've done this already. I will post video on youtube so you can see and then post link to this.
Gauge is electrical, full sweep.

I might've overstated little bit. It counts by 2 on that gauge, so I would say it moves between 2-4psi.
So here is the link:

I guess it's fine, I won't be worrying about it. Just never seen this before.
I guess maybe since cobras don't have fuel return lines, that's probably why it's doing it this way.
