If your gauge hangs up at either corner or just hangs in the middle (at 200)...watch the needle when you start the engine.

I found that my needle is just pivoting at the bottom where it attaches to the gauge internals.

I haven't taken the thing apart tofix it yet, but I assume the needle has two pegs on the back that insert into the gauge assembly and one of mine is broken or sheared off.

I know the gauge itself works because if I just let the car warm up without driving it, it registers correctly. It's the first bump I hit or closing the door that sends the needle to the center where it stays.

There is one pin that just friction-fits into the plastic guage needle.

It sounds like yours is just loose and needs to be pushed in. May want to take it off and check it closely.

The trick is putting it back on in the right place so it will be accurate.
