Supercharger gauge reading at 0 all the time???
hey guys
my booster gauge is now reading at 0 all the time. It should be all the way over to the left at idle correct? When i turn the key the gauges bounce around like they should but then the needle goes to the middle and stays there any suggestions to what it could be?
thanks
John

Either the MAP sensor went bad or the vacuum line running to it has become damaged or unhooked at one end, causing the MAP sensor to see only atmospheric pressure (0).

Now at idle it will rev way down like it is going to die, i goose it a little and it does?? Does that sound like a map or a vacumm line?
thanks for your help

From a potential vacuum leak aspect..yes. Take a look around the motor and fix'er up.

Thanks So it would be somesort of vacum leak you suspect huh ? The car has only 47,000 miles on it ..? Also i found a small silver toggle switch on the driver side along the cover for the shift ? is that normal do u know ?like a kill switch ? i tried it while was on it flashed the dash lights completely off!
