Do you have any sort of indiglo, reverse indiglo, or other gauge faces on your cluster? If you do, the needles may be getting stuck to the overlays.

no it's all stock n/a cluster the gas gauge didnt work when i bought the car but the light turns on when im low on fuel. i tryed messing the the needles and still nothing.. today i tryed messing with the temp sensor plugin and unplugin it to see if any thing would happen and nothing happen it was still the same.

was the cluster removed and reinstalled recently? make sure all the plugs in the back are plugged in.

the connector for the fuel sender is underneath the center arm rest in front of the shifter. you should be able ground the gauge wire and it should move the needle if the gauge is working. On the 91 wiring diagram yellow/red is the gauge wire going to the sender. the coolant temp sender is a ground side circuit. to test the gauge you have to ground it to see if the needle moves.

Your temp sender might have just popped off.. it's located on the under side of your coolant neck.
