Your question actually belongs in the X300 forum. No big deal.

It is more than likely the pressure switch. These have a high failure rate. I have them for $33 plus shipping.

you only need 10psi per 1k rpm and this is normal reading, if you dont like it the switch can be changed or updated to basically turn the gauge into and idiot light. If you have pressure it puts the needle right in the middle all the time
