I think I can clear this up as to why and how. Warrenty!! Years ago customers were bringing in trucks with low OP complants. 75mph,,,headwind,,105 degrees,,AC,,uphill towing 10,000lbs. Get off the hiway and the gage would hit the peg and bounce. Now remember,,10lbs per 1k rpm,right. So 650 to 700 idle is 7psi. Now you no longer have a OP gage. Its a idiot needle(in place of a light) If its more than 6-8psi,,,,strait up and down. Your gas gage is programed also. It does not refect a true reading. It's programed to make you "think" your vehicle gets good fuel economy. Thats why your OP gage chages so much. I put an Oil Temp gage on the Caddy in the extra port on the dual remote. Was stunned at how hot it was. over 300. But its been a while,,,,still no dash,,,,,PL
