I was just wondering if anyone else but me has those indiglo guages on their car. I installed it myself, and man was it a hasle. I have 2 problems now. The RPM guage thingy (sorry forgot name :-) moves but jerks, its not smooth, and the heat of car, stays pretty low, not normal, like u gotta tap it, and it moves up sometimes! Its weird.... what do u think it is and what can i do?

Both problems are most likely due to the fact that the indiglos are rubbing against the needles. What did you use to keep the indiglos down?

People have used a glue gun to keep the indiglos down and have had no problems with needles sticking.

And others have used double sided tape with no problems.

Try using 3m double sided tape if you haven't already.

I can't really offer any more advice without actually seeing the gauges other than putting the tape closer to the needle perhaps.

And also centering the gauge a little also might help.

Sorry I can't be of more assistance.
