my interceptor was showing some wack readings this morning

[fullthrottle]

I was heading home from work this morning and I was watching oone of my interceptor gauges and it was giving irratic boost readings. it would jump around anywhere from 2..2 to 11.5 when I would mash the throttle it would read all zeros and when i let up it would read 11.5 and no higher. whats up with that. if this is normal im sorry for being a dumb ass. its never acted like this before.

Mine has never done that. Did you check to make sure the plug hadn't come loose?

When your Interceptor shows readings like that?

I have no idea. I'm pretty sure you can measure the resistance across it and determine if it's bad or not, but that's not my area of expertiese. Also, you can have a tech throw the Tech2 on it, and if it's still showing really odd readings, you can assume it's not your gauge.

now the car goes from zero boost when I mash the accelerator and then it says 36 psi when I go from WOT to letting completely off the throttle. somethings up here. I hope my blower ante taking a shit on me it shouldnt be my car only has 10,000 miles on it.
