Easy fix to temp gage - ignition switch on top of column.
One terminal has two light green wires.
Cut the wires and connect them together and insulate.
This will eliminate the pegging at key ON/BULB TEST/START
Insulate the cut wires from the switch to prevent shorts.

Did you use the 88 Fiero oil pressure sensor? You have to. Also make sure you don't bend the pins when installing the connector. I did and it was pegged.
