The Daytona: February 17, 2004

I’ve fiddled around some more, but can’t seem to get the last of the gremlins worked out. The tach still likes to go wonky for no reason and the fuel and temp gauges read lower than they should. All of this screams grounding problems, but I have been over them again and again. Either both the fuel and temp senders are hosed and the tach board needs a going-over, or there is a single problem at the core of it all. So far I haven’t been able to figure it out. Aside from the exhaust clamps slipping and a few new squeaks added to the collection, the car seems to be working OK. It is actually starting to run better, though the fuel mileage seems low (hard to say the the speed/distance sensor is intermittent).
