Sounds familiar. Do you find it's related to the engine temperature? Mine
will run ok until it gets warm, then it'll drop to 1/3 of the scale when I'm
stopped in gear. It drops to 1/2 when it's warm and in park.

The service guy at the dealer said he can't find anything wrong, so I think
there was a run of sensors that are more sensitive than normal.
