Broken boost gauge and high idle.

Broken boost gauge and high idle.
Hey Guys,
Two questions:
What is the likely culprit of a broken boost gauge?
What can cause the car to idle @ a steady 1400 one day, 1100 on another day, and even 600 on another day?
Any input would be appreciated, thanks.

If you have a BCD installed the stock boost gauge won't work right. I would just install a good aftermarket boost gauge anyways just because it will be more accurate then the one in the cluster. I have a VDO and the backlight color is damn near a perfect match for the cluster backlight color.

Has the Boost Gauge ever worked properly? It could be caused by a broken Boost Sensor since the gauge works off of a signal from the sensor. The Brown/Red wire at the sensor when plugged into the sensor, key to on, and the vacuum hose disconnected and capped should read between 2.3 to 2.7 volts.

My TII is doing the exact same thing, Im trying to figure it out. It started after I blew a heater hose and overheated it. Someone told me that only some carb cleaners will increase idle when sprayed on a vacuum leak. I dont know how accurate that is though.
