I just got my truck back going after sitting a while. I put a new injector pump on it and it runs good, however the tach and speedometer moves over to the right side of the instrument panel and bounces up and down. I havent been able to find any bad grnds. or anything wrong. Some times while you are driving down the road it will start working properly for just a few seconds then it start back jumping around. the alternator is putting out 13.8

the 4 plugs behind the intake all seem to be fine. the ops is new and plug in as well. when i unplug the alt with the white and black wire it does not help the tach or change anything. the trans is shifting and operating fine. I'm not getting a wait to start light anymore, is this because it's 90+ degrees here?

Those four plugs that were behing the intake seemed to be fine, but i took them all apart and then pluged them back up and it fixed it! Thanks
