So i finally had some time to myself yesterday to get back to work on the car.

For starters, i tore all the gauges and wiring out. Just from moving the car in and out of my garage a few times i grew annoyed with the pillar pod set up. So ordered some more ABS plastic and fresh hole saw blade to do a pod in the vent.

ANYWAYS...

As previously mentioned, one thing that could be causing the issue im having is a **** ground or power connection to the the gauge. For testing, i ran the power wire directly to the post were the battery cable powers the fuse box. Then ran the ground for the gauge directly to the ground block i have under the hood. Which i know is a good ground bc everything else thats hooked to it works.

With the key on, gauge did the same exhaust thing. Started the car, same thing.

With the next step being to test the sensor i put the car up on jackstands so i could slide my belly under. It began to rain while i was doing that, so i just cleaned up once it was up. But while placing the jack stand, i saw 1 of the slip joins on the exhaust was open. About 8" after the wideband.
