Did you remove the needles? (while installing guages or clearing them)

If so, sometimes they will 'unstick' and get back to working.. I had this problem with my fuel guage. If this is happening becauase you removed the needles I would remove the ones that are not working (carefully) turn off the car and install them (very carefully) at the 0 (zero) indicator (for the RMPs and MPH guages) If its the fuel guage acting up.. fill it up then do the same thing, but install to the F (FULL) marking..

Hope this helps..

well i think the RPM gauge is reading right its just that when i'm driving or even when i'm at a light the needle just moves up and down. it dose that sometimes not alot but it is starting to do it alot.

Sounds like it's bouncing after not being able to move. This is normally caused by the aftermarket gauges rubbing the needle. You can put some double sided tape or superglue behind the aftermarket gauges to keep them flat and stop them from rubbing the needle.

the needle is moving up and down, how much just a lil bit or alot? how about the motor is its speed moving up and down with the guages or is it just staying the same

have u played with ur guages or done any mods prior to this problem?

i had to replace a bulb and i just removed the needle and put it back on. the motor stays the same when it moves. it moves real fast up and down.

try reading this http://home.pacbell.net/fong8/gstuff/gauges.htm ('http://home.pacbell.net/fong8/gstuff/gauges.htm')

and o yea, when playing with ur guages, try not to play with the needles, that can be a very costly mistake.
