My Fuel Pressure gauge is stuck at 6 lbs
It is stuck at 6 whether I turn the key on or off, it was working and then it blipped and stuck there. It is an ispro electric one, with the little sensor under the hood plugged into the fuel lines.
Anybody got any quick ideas, I checked all the connections and everything seems tight.

Bad sensor!
I had one of those electric units on my wifes 2k...it started acting up...so it was replaced with a mechanical one... Those electrical units are not always reading true...

The sender, even with the key off? Possible I guess, depending on if the voltage that feeds the sensor is switched with the ignition or not. Those things are not reliable in diesel applications from what I have read on here, that is why I got a mechanical one.
My first mechanical issPro f/p gauge went bad about a month after I got it, would only return to 5 lbs when I shut the key off. Wouldn't move sometimes when I turned on the truck, then all of a sudden would start working, then would freeze. Replaced under warranty by the shop that did the install.
