Default Weird electrical problem

Well if you have been following up on my previous problem, then you know I have been having some problems with my car. Click here https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=390368 to read my other problem
. Well, today I noticed that when my car was warming up, my dash lights would flicker on and off, and my thermostat needle would go up and down untill it goes to its final resting place. What could be causing both of these problems ? I bought a new alternator so its not that. I was thinking brand grounds. What do you think ?

hit up the grounds dude. all i did to fix my problems (yours sound somewhat similar) was replace the grounds for the starter, tranny, engine, and battery

i isolated the tranny ground from the battery ground, a replaced my fuse box power wire, my starter power wire, and replaced my battery terminals. you can do this for like $10, and even if it doesnt fix it, is a worthwhile investment.

get 2 feet of 4 gauge, and 4 feet of 8 gauge. i think this is what i bought

good luck man

Cool thanks, one last question. About my temperture gauge needle like going up and down alittle, well it does this but then gets to the final resting point and stops, which has been the same spot for years. Do you guys think I am fine ? Also I just noticed, if the car sits at idle for along time, it will jump from 1,000 to alittle over like, 1,200. Could this be bad ground to ?
