Hi all--
Quick question. My fuel, temp and oil pressure gauges are reading about 1/4 of a sweep low. (ie. 1/2 of a tank of gas on the gauges is really 3/4 of a tank.) Every now and then, the three move back where they should be and then back down again.
Here's what I've done :
1) New temp sender
2) New Oil Pressure Sender
3) New Instrument Panel Voltage Regulator
4) Cleaned all grounds
5) New engine wiring harness (due to a short--January's trauma)
6) New Voltage Regulator (January's short got this, too.)
7) Swore a blue streak, sat down and drank an ice cold beer
What am I missing? I know the gauges are good, too. What gets me is that the three move "back" in tandem and then lower in tandem, too. That, to me, says electrical snafu. But, for the life of me, I can't think of where it'd be.
I've used Motorcraft parts where I could get them and top of the line when I couldn't get M.Craft.
Let me know your thoughts. . . .
