Does it stay steady while it is running and only fluctuate when the car is tuned off or what? If it is actually changing pressure on each start up then I would check your wiring/relay/gounds etc. Maybe check for fuel leaks with the linse inside the tank.

If it is like my autometer electric pressure gauge, when you turn off the ignition, the gauge is off and not reading anymore. The sending unit, gets its power from the gauge, so I don't think the number you are seeing is factual.

started motor 60psi
engine off key on 70psi
key on again running 40psi.

it also stays when running at a set pressure. it might be 40psi or 70 psi.

What fuel pressure gauge? It might be a bad sending unit.

I would get another test gauge to be sure the reading is correct.

If it is correct, then I would suspect the regulator.
