Have you tried a new sending unit? I have had alot of probs with the Autometer oil press sending units. I think I'm on my 4th unit right now. They usually just crap out on me. Try a new one and see what happens.

If you accidently got any wires backwards, the gauge may have been ruined? It warns you in the instructions that this might happen and you need to be careful getting the wires correct. Just a thought?
