I'm paid to do right-angle science.  That's what we used to call thinking 
outside of the box.  My first thought is to ask; Is the pressure gauge working 
properly?  If it is an electric gauge you might want to check connections and 
even measure the resistance at the sender with an ohmmeter, before and as you 
crank.

regards,
