First the A/F: I have an autometer C2 A/F gauge and i have had it in my car for the past 9 months or so. For some reason just this past week it has been acting weird. I know those gauges are accurate but it at least gives you some idea of what is going on (mainly for looks). But now it sometimes just doesnt work, or it will just go insane and all of the lights will light up at the same time or look almost like a trail affect...meaning it will show the green but with all of the red and yellow behind it. I have never seen this happen before. AND i found out that when i put my turn blinker on it like affects, it will start just jumping around "in beat" with the turn blinker...DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON?

Second the Boost: It works fine, and has been doing this since day one, but i have again the C2 Electronic Boost Gauge. When i start my car, 9 out of 10 times it will sit at 0 for about 3 min. or so and then drop down and start showing vac and boost...ANYONE KNOW WHAT IT JUST STAYS AT ZERO?

--PLEASE HELP, THANKS... JOE
 
Could be a bad ground somewhere, maybe the engine. That or your O2 ius dying.. Or maybe your car hates you for not buying a gauge that worthwhile. ;)
 
LOL...yeah i know, but when it was like a dream come true when i could finally get that gauge...haha...anyway i called Autometer and they just said it prob. just went bad and to just send it in and get a new one...but i will check the ground...i have no idea where it is located...any help?
