If you're standing still, but idling, I don't think the gauge is suppose to fall to zero. It will go down if the car is in neutral and moving. The faster the car moves, while in neutral, the more the gauge will drop. At least that's how it works on both my old 318 and 540. :dunno:

is that not when you have it in gear and the wheels are turning the engine? when i go down the driveway i put the clutch in... at idle my gauge falls to 0 i think will take more note of it but im pretty sure it does...

have never noticed the gauge jumping when sitting at a robot only when moving...

Every single warning light possible is lit up:thumbdo:

Saw that, wonder why

Car is not looked after, that's why!:yuck:

See the temp is showing -4 yet he is in short sleeves. That's probably also broken.

Looks like the CAN-Bus is offline..... Wheel of death on the dashboard.

Means ECM/TCM is not functioning.

Car is in Limp Mode.
