Could it possibly be that it is not hooked up correctly or that it is malfunctioning? Because 1 kPa is like very close to 0 psi, so it could be warning you of no fuel pressure....

It is hooked up to one of the fuel lines. I know that wont be a problem because the warning light has been there since I installed the gauge and at that time the sensor wasnt even hooked up.

hows ur car btw?

Yea but where on the fuel line, thats why I asked specifically so I can see whats going on. Is it on the feed line? Return line? before or after the fmu?

My car is coming along, start it for the 1st time in one month, look at the thread on the general forum, just got a lot of stuff back ceramic coated.

Sounds like his guage is hooked up on the return line for sure. Almost positive your car wouldnt run on 14.5psi fuel pressure.....if so it would be so crappy.
