try that.

That was actually the first page I looked at when I started trying to fix it lol. Come to the conclusion that it is too much of a pain in the ass, so I'm installing an aftermarket one. Thanks anyway.

I just fixed mine with a budget of $0.60.

It's worth doing.

- about 10 screws
- four clip panels
- 20 minutes to pull the panelling off
- dismantling the instrument cluster (clear casing, black casing, three screws)
- desoldering the capacitors (x2)
- solder new ones in place
- refit

It really is the first place to check. You will kick yourself if you spend hundreds of dollars for no reason. (failing that, ask a sparky to look at it based off the link I posted)

Don't think that that's it because the needle still moved from 750 to 1250 when I start the car, although it doesn't move other than that.

Pretty sure that it has something to do with aftermarket ecu, so probably a pain in the ass.

on the topic of clusters, sometimes when i start my car when warm, the temp needle will stay on 'C' until i give the top of the dash a tap then it goes up (thanks MRvirgin), anyone know why it would get stuck? just old age? 

AW11 or SW20..?

Well mines a SW20.

If you could get in there try some WD40 maybe.

an sdub
+1 Ant WD40 fixes 'everything'... :)

Mine dosnt work either sometimes can't pin point the exact reason or patter. But I tap the dash and it works?

i think i can live with it, when i bought the car the guage didnt work at all lol
