Dash doing weird Sh!t


Marky

Recommended Posts

Bought a car knowing it had this issue... now not sure how to fix

 

Short version - the dash gauges play silly buggers. The fuel gauge will periodically give up, and drop from wherever it is to 0 over about 45 sec, then perk back up. Temp does the same, and the rev counter has just once decided to just read 0 while the motor was running. 

 

Where should I start - is this likely to be a dash cluster issue or earth related? Alternator looks to have been already replaced, and it has one of those stupid Japanese earthing kits from battery neg to anything unboltsble

I have a similar issue. My dash goes black then starts flashing..as well as petrol gauge but never temp gauge. The two lights on the aftermarket gauges also go on and off. Most of this happened after a motor transplant..however i could bang the top of dash and it would go back to normal.

Tonight driving home changed it from tiptronic over to second gear to go up my driveway and it started acting a bit peppy. I notice the dash lights were on but the speedo/rev counter red stick lights were out and the indicator lights were both hard on.when i stopped it started revving high so i turned it off....Help what is wrong!!!

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
