Default Issue with gauges after cam swap.

Not sure if it's directly related, or just dumb luck....but here is the deal. After my cam install my tach stopped working, and my speedo was reading very low. I had two shops look at things at nobody could figure it out. They tried changing the computer, the cluster, checking wires etc, then a few days later the fuel gauge, and temp gauge stopped working and the SVS and ASR lights stay on. The computer sends a signal to my Autometer tach though, any ideas???? I'm at a loss.

Make sure the wires on the back of the DS head are secure.

My oil gauge starting acting up after my cam swap. I think it was just perfect timing for it to fail. The guys at thunder checked my oil pressure with a mech. gauge and verified the pressure was good. I just have to add my own external gauge I guess.

This sounds like a ground issue - did you make sure that both sets of ground wires on the back of the head are there and tight?

Grounds seem to be good, (they said they checked them) and I have a new timimg chain, but it's a LS2.


Like I said, my fuel pressure and battery gauges work, as well as the odometer and idiot lights....speedo is slow, and the tach, fuel and temp gauges don't work.
