Default fuel pressure gauge stuck past 100 psi

Here is the deal, I was driving and my car died, tried to start it but it wouldn't turn over, tried to jump it and nothing. Unplugged the battery and reconnected it and it started fine, filled my gas tank thinking my full blown fuel pump was getting warm. My fuel pressure gauge is reading past 100psi and it is stuck there Wtf is going on. My wideband says my car us running fine not rich nor lean, it is running good but my gauge is Maxed out here is a pic any id ea?

Maybe you pegged it and broke it?

Maybe the gauge is defective.

I'm gonna take a guess...

Your pressure gauge is not liquid filled, so it is more susceptible to vibrations. I bet the needle bounced over the little silver peg by the 0 mark.

You could try to pull the bezel/glass off the front and move the needle back over top of the silver peg, or better yet go pick up a liquid filled gauge.

Pull the face off and wiggle the neddle. It's either broken loose or the pressure tube has sprung out from overpressure.
