Crazy Gauges! OK so my car is going nuts!......my oil pressure gauge and voltage gauge seem to be working together to drive me insane. They are both about 1/8-1/4" lower then normal most of the time. I checked the voltage at several different points and get 14-15v range. But the gauge is still reading less then 13v most of the time. And then randomly both gauges will start like dancing. haha.......so anyone have any ideas? Its a new alt, and i checked the gauges. So i am up for any ideas anyone has!

The Oil gauge on my Camaro was doing that this past week.
Turns out the oil sending unit/sensor and oil pump was filled with telefon. All had to be replaced.
It is a v6 so the pressure was going from 35 to 55 then when it broke it was reading 120 psi.
As far as your volt meter. R u running a system?

LOL MINE TOO!
My volts are acting like my alternator is going out. Sometimes it "over charges" then it'll wrk fine, then it'll go 13 or just a hair under, *sigh*
Now my OIL gauge
Works great till it gets a bit warm, then when I let off the gas it'll go all electronic-glitchy. When I come to a stop it'll go down to it's 25psi spot, then surge down back, down, back STOP IT NOOOOOO :S Wonder if I bumped it when I put the O2 sensor in heh
Temp gauge is fugged in the dash. Doesn't work half the time, some times it does, some times it doesn't and when I hit the right side of the dash it will heh
I'm going crazy too, don't feel bad.
