Electrical problem (egt)

[Jhoe]

My egt guage when I start the car, goes crazy, hovers around the right temperature but moves so quick back and forth around it (+/-20*to30*) so fast you can't focus on the needle. I have tried a different ground and a different power supply. Any guesses on why this won't read solid? It is the Autometer procomp ultralite. I can hit the brakes and then the guage may work for a bit...

I emailed autometer about this because my gauge did the same thing, and they told me the gauge is bad. Email them tell them the problem and you might even get a brand new gauge out of it.

Wow, quality huh?
Email them, I emailed them now I have to scan my receipt and send it in for a replacement probe.

I have an Autometer Sport-Comp EGT gauge, but never used the autometer probe. I had a similar problem using a Westach probe, it started doing it after about 1.5 years. I replaced the probe and everything's fine.

Mine did this the day out of the box...
