Sir Nasty.

It climbs from zero to being pegged in a second or two.

sounds like a bad gauge

Final post on this one.

Had things checked over by the pros over the weekend.

Tach issue is gone. Looks like the coil solved that.

Charge light is 99% gone. It has come back twice for a few seconds (Only when the engine was off and when you turn the key. No charge light would come on) but the entire charging system checked out including the ELD. Looks like it was mostly coming from the alternator. They think the last few flickers are also from something not quite right in the rebuilt alternator. Likely the regulator. Guess they have seen things like this before.

Whole temperature sensor system check out so that issue is in the gauge somewhere. Will look for a new one.

Thank you for the help. Hope this thread helps someone out sometime.

Matthew
