Hmm, I am wondering about the commonality here. You both have old-ish cars with possibly old reed switched vss's. Can you try disconnecting the vss lead (lift the retaining tang at the plug or dyke the lead) and see if it runs more reliably? If you put it on the current screen it will show gallons to the 1/100th and the custom screen has an instant gph reading on it.
