Are you sure there isn't a leak in the plumbing to the new gauge?

Chances are that you gauge is good, and that the line going to it is bad, or the connection is bad. Use a vacume/boost pump to test the line and meters. They can do wonders on troubleshooting this. Sounds like an air leak, or pinhole in the line near the gauge.
