    water pressure gauge not right

    my water pressure gauge never goes to "0". It sets at 20 with key off when engine running it goes up from there will even peg out when rpms get high enough. anyone know how to fix this so it reads right?

    Probably froze once, and needs replaced. Not difficult. Just a water hose and cpl screws basically.

    was wondering if the hose might have some obstruction causing it not to release pressure. i'll blow it out and see what happens
