Default Fuel Pressure guage not working...

ok guys, after installing the column on the A pillar, the EGT's and boost work perfect, but the fuel pressure does not work at all. It worked for about 5 seconds, then refuses to function period. It has an isolator inline and it has fuel to it. I can blow in the tube to the gauge and it moves, but I can't get it to read fuel pressure. I have tried re-bleeding the side fitting, but can't seem to get it to work. I know there is some trick to getting the sucker to work, but I am totally failing. Thanks!!

Dump the isolator and life will be good - make sure you use a needle valve to dampen pressure spikes from the VP-44.

are you filling the line from the isolator to the gauge will some sort of fluid? i've heard your supposed to use anti freeze and then fleed the system so there isn't any air; if all else fails go ahead and do what the Dr said; sure beats buying a new one
