mine started to jump all around and some times just peg out or go dead. Tracked it down to when ever I turned my lights one it would do it more. I guessed that sence the pyro is controled by an elec curent coming from the probe, and I have all my wires zip tied together coming up the apiller that there must be some interferance with the light wire when ever I turned it on. So long story short I undid the zip ties and put the pryo wires in its own little wire loom and then zip tied them all back and that was 3 plus years ago and havent had a problem sence.

At idel my runs between 275-325 degrees. My pyro bounced around for a while then went dead. I found that you could not ground the pyro wire to the a pillar. So, I went under the dash to the piece of channel that runs the width of the dash. I grounded there using a nut and bolt. The hole was already there. i haven't had a problem since.
