Hello all!

I have recently installed my Paxton novi 1000 and I have some problems.

I am using Wideband,boost/vaccum and oil pressure gauges from autometer (cobalt series)

At idle the boost/vaccum is showing -10, this should be showing -20. I have checked for leaks and looked for any faulty installation but everything is according to instructions and no leaks. The SC seems to give the correct boost when driving everything from 5-8 psi.

The wideband gauge is showing perfectly values. Idleending 14.3-15.2 and full throttle: 11.5-11.9. My problem with the wideband gauge is that when drivingthe carhard for a while it seems that the gauge hangs on the value 14.6 and remains for that. Turning the key off and then on resets the gauge from the hang mode. When driving the car moderate the gauge is acting normaly. Is this maybe a setting from within the gauge?

Hope somebody can answer my questions.

To look for leaks, I sprayed with leak detection spray on the vaccum hoses in the engine bay.

It also seems that the SC is going up and down at idle.

Anybody?

This is a pretty technical question and might be better to ask it in the "pipes, boost and juice" section. I've got no idea.

i have the cobalt boost gauge....at idle mine fluctuates from -10 to -20 vac depending on the day and conditions.....does it ever drop below 10?

10 isn't that bad at idle, I only see about 15 or so on the average day. +1 on it changing due to outside conditions as well.

If the car is running fine... I don't see a problem. Whats the idle RPM set at? How much is the RPM moving up and down?

Could be a bad gage. I've got a bad fuel pressure gage I'm trying to get replaced. The mechanic told me that they are seeing a lot of bad Autometer gages.
