Problem probably lies in the instrument cluster then. Try against a known working one?

sounds like the next plan of action would it have to be the hole unit or just part of the cluster

Try tightening the nut behind the temp gauge first.

For some odd reason you got blocked from the forum if you clicked on it.
Ask me how I know

Because you got an email from me saying I clicked a link and it banned me, then the ip proxy I used afterwards? Or more likely you banned yourself as well.
Did it point to any useful content?

It did it to me too.....
basically its said (or rather BM said) check the nut on the temp gauge ..check the connections under the manifold and resolder any cracks in the si board
mind you I don't know why I posted it ...you mods aught to put a one syllable set of instructions on "how to use the search function"
