this all started with my egt guage, it began to bounce around uncontrollably one day. It will read perfectly normal with the car not running and the key in, but soon as i start it it goes crazy. I disconnected it thinking that maybe the probe was going bad. Now when I have my headlights on and the heater on my tachometer will jump around. This only seems to happen when the fan kicks on, or the headlights are on with the heater on. I went to autozone and had the charging systewm tested. They said my alternator was bad. I replaced it with a remanufactured one from autozone. Same problem. I read on some other boards that those alternators have been known to not have the right voltage regulators in them so i went and got one from the dealership. Again same problem. I have also tried replacing the battery but they didnt help either. The only other thing I can think of to try would be a homemade ground kit which i will be doing here shortly. Does anyone else have any thoughts on this. Has this ever happened to anyone else? My car is a 99 eclipse spyder with a 4g64 in it, also i have tried swapping the ecu with a 2g gst ecu since i have put a turbo kit on. this made no difference either. The car has begun to idle surge as well, but will stop the idle surge after it has been driving for a while. I am stumped please help, thanks
