Hi there, I believe it will be a problem with the SI board. I have had two cars do the needle flip on the rev counter for years without ill effects. Glad your cars running now :)

just thought when the needles move they stay at 1000 rpm and eco gauge at about halfway and when ignition is switched on they return to their correct positions,its not a flip up and back down if thats what you mean?
