Default Gauges went crazy!! Need help please....
My digital dash was working fine on my '86, even all the crystals were working fine. All of a sudden yesterday, my oil pressure went from 60-60 psi to around 540, the engine temp dropped from 150-160 to around 60 and the instant mpg went from mid 20's cruising to single digits.

All this sounded ecm related to me so I disconnectedthe battery cable but that didn't help! Anybody had this happen to them?............thanks
