Question Problem with AutoMeter Nexus Gauges...

Hey guys,
I have a problem that i know someone can help me with on here.

Problem: I have the AutoMeter Nexus Gauges hooked up in this order: Fuel pressure on top, Boost/Vac in the middle and AFR last on my gauge pod. This is then connected to my Nexus control modual. The problem i am having is as i drive the Z my Boost/Vac gauge will sometimes freeze and everynow and then the fuel pressure will freeze too. I know its the gauges because my AFR and car boost normal. When i turn the car off the gauges that have froze stay lit and the controller flashes a code. The code in the manual says there is a loose connection. This couldn't be possible as every time i start the car the gauges work fine untill they freeze up.

Anyone have any insight on this? Anyone have this problem or known someone with this problem?

PS: I wrote AutoMeter the same thing, and will keep this updated as it might help someone in the future.

Thanks in advance!

Maybe vibrations from the car give the loose connection after a little bit a driving?

^ i was thinking about that. But for example, it only does it like every other time i drive the car. Also, i am lowered on Eibachs so that its the softest ride ever.

i had some strange issues with my nexus system; freezing up, not powering up, etc. I sent it all back to autometer to replace/repair and they replaced all the gages and sent back the original controller. I have not had any problems since.
