It has over 179k miles (odometer is dead), so I figure the first thing to check is if the electrical gauge is working by using a manual pressure gauge instead.

Any other suggestions?

i believe the consensus is that if it goes to 3 upon acceleration you are ok

on my 104...it drops to 0 at idle when it is warm...but immediately goes to 3 upon acceleration. on the 103 it is slightly above 0 at warm
