Thread: loss of power to gauges

I recently did my cam swap... like last weekend... and we got everything back together and the car is running fine and stronger than ever... but when I launch the car my gauges (RPM, Gas, Temp) go dead (MPH) dies then comes back... on the dic I am seeing in this sequence, TC off---> Service stability control---> Low Fuel...


What could this be, I have to stop the car shut it off and restart it for it to clear, no codes to be found by my aroeforce scan gauge... the only other detail I can give is that this only happens from a dig, and when the gauge is in performance read mode.... (where it est. my 1/4 mile) I have yet to try to launch it without it in that mode to see if it is the gauge, but I figured Id post and update as necessary thanks in advance have a good day!

sounds like with a bunch of boost from a dig its bogging out and dying. misfires? LTFT? KR? we need WAY more information here.

where did you run the power wire for the aeroforce guage?

0 miss fires, 0 kr, not worried about fuel. this is an electrical problem bio, my car does not die... my gauges do.

that just plugs into the ObdII port, not loose power wires, and besides it never did this to me before

One loose ground strap (or bad ground) can cause all sorts of weird issues like that

and thats what Im looking over now...

yeah sounds like a ground is making everything go haywire

thats my guess, but last night went out cruising and got in a few races and everything worked just fine, Im almost thinking its the gauge that is cause it in some weird way... maybe in conjunction with a ground... hows the build going?
