It seems every time I drive my car, something breaks
I was driving home last night and passed a slow car on a two-lane road (in a passing zone). Floored it, car boosted to 12 psi and I flew around grandpa and down the road I went. When I backed out of the throttle and slowed down to normal speeds, boost gauge came back down into normal range. Then about two miles later as I came into town, I looked down at the cluster and see the boost gauge all the way left showing 30 in vacuum. I stepped into the throttle a few times and it didn't move. Got home, revved the engine and still no movement. I checked the vacuum line connection at the plenum in the engine bay and all is good.
So what might be wrong? Bad gauge? Needle loose? If the line came off the back in the cluster the gauge should settle at 0 just like when the engine is off right? Any suggestions?
