Does it say 19lbs through you EFi-live or on the cluster gauge?? If on the cluster gauge you might wanna check it on your EFI-live to see if that is what the computer is reading, because the steppermotor in the cluster might be crapping out. (you've prolly already done this just thought I'd throw it out there)

My truck did almost that exact thing when the stepper motor went bad on mine and I had to replace the cluster..
