Instruments @ Start Up
Anyone know why all the instruments pin themselves to the right on start up? Mine work fine afterwards; and it is kinda cool; but I was just wondering what (if anything) the car is doing when all the instruments go fling to the right.

Yeah the good ol' gauge sweeps are a cool gimmick they are putting on some performance cars these days. SUbaru STi's do the same thing as do several other cars..can't think of any others off the top of my head but I'm sure there are plenty.

It's normal.
Was a bit hard for me to get used to as my Lightnings only did it when you were in "program mode" (editing the program on the ECM) so the first few times it kinda scared me. It still gets me for a second now and then.

Might even have a practical use-
reduces the chance of the gage shaft developing goo or rough spots that would make it bind in the areas it normally never goes to.
And as you said, fun to watch!

to the right..
Well,not getting to technical,but here goes....The oscillator palpatator gets framulated at startup which in turn co-ordinates the centrifugul forces that delaminate the occurance of palpatation...ALL OF WHICH occur at the same time causing hydrofluctuation of the needles!!
