Default i drove the kids toschool in the cgt today. the speedo bounces and the gas gauge only works on idle

the speedo just bounces around or near a speed i was probably going. what's the deal with this? how do i fix it? my ic and houseing has never been removed from the car. this started after the car has set for 6 years or so. any ideas?

the gas gauge reads below empnty when you drive or raise the rpm's. it reads fine when you are sitting still at idle. any ideas here?

these will need to be fixed very soon as i hate when a guage doesn't work.

on the plus side. it runs like a top and has no motor noises. it's so much fun top be driving it. i do have alot more to do before i start to really use it though.

Default Could be the speedo cable binding.

try lubing it. Give the O2 counter box a spray while you are at it.
