Ok, so in the morning, when I go to start my car, I get in and go to turn it on and it wont start. Well, this is what happens. The engine turns, and makes no noticeable try to start, just simply turns. Well, I also noticed, thats the stock boost guage when this problem happens and it wont start, doesnt zero itself out, just stays where it sits when the car is off at -7 vacuum, when the key is on the start position/on position. Ill sit and wait a few minutes and the boost guage will zero out, and then the car will start right up.


Something to do with the boost guage not zeroing out, where is this stock guage directly ran too. I never really got into it, alls I know it is computer related. Its not actually a vacuum sourced line.

I also can here a very faint click/buzz from under the hood, one time it happened I quickly opened the hood and left the car on the on position, something buzzed and clicked from in the engine bay and right away the stock boost guage shot up to zero itself out.

I am not new to this DSM world but I have not ever came across a problem like this, anyone else run into this problem.
 
I believe that the stock gauge is computer driven using the amount of air drawn into the engine. When you heard the click, do you recall the whereabouts of it?
 
Anybody?

It says where I heard the engine click, and no not by the ECU, since that was what youw ere implying, im guessing.
