Just over a year and a half and the problem raised it's ugly head again with the same exact symptoms.
Does anybody know if there is a recall on the instrument cluster unit that controls gauges etc. and what the details are?
THE ONLY THINGS I CAN THINK OF WOULD BE TO CHECK THE MAIN HARNESS PLUG THAT
PLUGS INTO THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, IT COULD BE LOOSE SOME HOW. THE ONLY OTHER
THING WOULD BE ONE OF THE RELAY'S IN THE MAIN FUSE BOX IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT.
ONE OF THOSE COULD BE GOING OUT, OR COULD JUST HAVE SOME CORROSION ON THE CONTACTS.
PULL EACH ONE OUT AND LOOK AT THE PRONGS ON EACH ONE AND MAKE SURE THEY'RE CLEAN.
I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU IN SOME WAY, GOOD LUCK.........ANY QUESTIONS, LET ME KNOW.
THANKS,

I CAN'T BE 100% SURE, BUT THIS SOUNDS LIKE A VAPOR LOCK TO ME. HAVE YOU
CHANGED OUT THE ORIGINAL GAS CAP, OR HAVE YOU TAKEN OUT OR REMOVED
THE VACUUM LINES THAT RUN TO THE CANISTER IN THE BACK LEFT HAND CORNER
OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT? IT RECEIVES THE FUMES FROM THE CARB AND GAS
TANK TO KEEP IT FROM DEVELOPING A VAPOR LOCK. I WOULD LOOK INTO THESE 2
THINGS FIRST AND HOPEFULLY IT FIXES THE PROBLEM. IF NOT, LET ME KNOW, AND
I'LL THINK A LITTLE DEEPER ON THIS. (SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG TO REPLY)

We had the exact same issues. Replace your fuel pump and your gauges will return to nomral and the power will be back.
