Default 2002 Z28 check guages light when accelerating

Hey everyone,

I just bought an '02 Z28 and when I was driving it back home I noticed the "check guages" light will appear then quickly go away after I bumped the gas. It will come on every so often. What do you guys think it is?

Which gauge was out of range? Since you were driving it home how much gas was in the car?

This may not apply to your car but when my old SS did that it ended up being the alternator wires. Come to find out that the previous owner didn't unplug it when he decided to yank it off the car after he unbolted it.

All the gauges were normal. They all read okay...The car had 3/4s full tank of gas, i'll check the alternator wires.
