Re:Overhead Computer, Odometer not working

Sorry can't help you but mine is acting kind of funny these days. For about 6 months now my overhead odometer and my dash odometer go out of sync. I reset them both to zero at fill up and by the time I refuel 400-500 miles later they are off by about 20 miles? Kind of strange since you would think the input would come from the same source. ???

Re:Overhead Computer, Odometer not working

The EZ might be affecting the overhead display since it's probably reading/interpreting the same data as the MPG display.<br>&quot;Fooling&quot; boxes tend to confuse the MPG readings.

Re:Overhead Computer, Odometer not working

Thanks, it does kind of coincide with my EZ and injector install but I thought there were a couple of months after upgrade the odometers were dead on with each other. The upgrades did really throw off my mpg computer readings: computer = 22 mpg, actual = 18.5 mpg. The fueling is different with the add ons which I guessed would throw off the computer mpg calculation. Can you lend any science on why the odometer would be off? Just curious...<br><br>
