- Sat Aug 08, 2009 8:46 pm #136757 I have an aftermarket Fuel pressure gauge installed on my fuel filter and have noticed the fuel pressure seems to randomly drop to zero the second I turn off the car, or randomly stay at 40psi all night and all day, but consistantly 40 or nothing. Is this normal or is somthing starting to go bad. I do have problems starting the car somtimes if I try to start it between one or two hours since its been shut off. Anyone have any Ideas as to why?
