Andrew, you mentioned a few key symptoms: "it'll bounce back" "what it does is jump" Well, it ain't supposed to. Temp gauges should be slow to respond. On yours there must be some damping mechanism that has quit working such that jerky movements allow it to stick at the end of travel. On my daily driver the temp gauge is slow. The volt gauge bounces/jumps. The fuel gauge is slow (even when I test it by shorting). The oil pressure works relatively fast but is not jittery. The tach is as slow as molasses and does not respond to a seeking idle (meaning that the idle seeks faster than the tachometer can show it). But the volt gauge seeks with the idle just fine. I have seen another DeLorean that has a tach that bounces everywhere. We could switch the ignition on/off and watch the tachometer sometimes spin all the way around. And this car's volt gauge was as slow as my tachometer. I am curious if all DeLorean gauges started off the same or if there were batch/source variations. Bob Zilla commented to me about this before saying that the meter movements are fluid filled and that they can dry out with time. I am curious to take a bad one apart to see if the fluid could be restored. If you replace yours, are you going to throw the old one out? Walt Yahoo!
