    Electrical problems!!!!!!

    Took my car out and im having some strange problems with it. The fuel gauge and the temp gauge suddenly drop when i give it WOT. Also i have left it running and they wont work while the fan comes on! Is it a power issue? The volt reg has just been changed and im getting nearly 14volts!

    Mine was doing this for years, on and off, There's a little voltage reg on the back of the clocks, its either loose or its died, it just plugs into a little socket and held with a screw, I just took it out and cleaned the pins last week and so far its all good now.

        Im also getting a blip on WOT and now its gone into overboost protection. Could this be linked? Could the battery be on the way out and not supplying enough power

          Dirty MAF plug contacts?? or N75 valve. Sounds possibly like the issues I had with mine last year.

            Cleaned the MAF and the N75 is brand new. So frustrating

              Happened again tonight. Im get a hesitation but this tie no overboost protection. I know the battery is really not to good if it is struggling could this cause the hesitation and the dials to give up? No dim on lights or anything though. Getting a strong 13.5-14 volts on the gauge
