Default EF gauge cluster situation :(

I have a problem with my 1990 EF with b16a. After swapping to Skunk2 intake manifold with the hondata heatshield gasket, (car isnt equipped with hondata) the gauge cluster started acting up. When you high beam the Temp. and gas gauge begin to rise and the rpm drops to 0. When the car is idling the signal lights just stay on but they arent bright just a little dimmed. When you signal both of the signal lights flash. The speedometer doesnt work anymore. when the headlights are on the rpm gauge goes from 0-2500 repeatedly. The car is running fine. Just running into these problems with the guage cluster. Its not showing any other problems. Nothing electrical was touched during the swap only injector wires and a sensor which was moved to the new manifold. If anyone knows what can be wrong please let me know asap.
-THANKS

i could be wrong, cause i'm rather stupid, but having had problems with my cluster in the recent past, all that i can say is take it out of the dash, and reconnect it again, making sure every connecter gets plugged in correctly.

did you ever have the interior fuze box unplugged/out? if so, make sure all that is reconnected right -- i did that too.

otherwise, i'm a stumped n00b :\
