OK. This morning after starting the convertible for my 1.8
mile commute to the office, the check gauges light did it’s normal on for
a few seconds while warming up and the gauges (oil, temp, ammeter, gas) did
their normal slow climb to the proper spots. But when I made my first right turn, the check gauge light
came on and the oil pressure gauge bottomed out (went all the way to the left).
The engine is not leaking oil and the level is fine. After 30 seconds or so,
the gauge came back up to the normal range and the check gauges light went off.
When I made the first left turn, the check gauges light came back on but this
time it was the temperature gauge that bottomed out (went all the way to the
left). What’s up with that? What should I check (other than oil and coolant, I’ve
done that and they are fine.) first? My gas gauge (since replacing the float
in the tank) has always read as just over half when the tank is full. Hmmm. Has anyone else had this problem with a 68? I was going to
wait until the summer (winter is convertible weather here) to take that dash
apart, but maybe I should start this project now. Any suggestions? Thanks, Javier Proud
