Pyrometer acting flakey!!!

It will go crazy and then to zero when on the throttle but will seem to read right when i let off. It never wants to sweep up if that makes sense. I think the thermocouple is needing to be replaced. Your thoughts?

Check your wiring and make sure the thermocouple is tight. If you have doubts about the integrity of the thermocouple don't take a chance. If the probe breaks off it will go into the turbo. It's rare but they do break.
