it has nothing to do with the gauges, the gauge pins even when they are not hooked up.

I have a serious question, and you are responding with the most ridiculous answers I have ever heard. First of all I actually drive a 10 second Camaro, and this is for my girls car, but now I realize just how dumb you rice-burners really are, not to mention you make fun of yourselves, you guys are retarted and pathetic!!

At least we don't have Indiglo Guages.

My CRX runs high 13's, has A/C and full interior and good stereo and a sunroof and get's 39 MPG on road trips... does your Camaro do that?

My only advice is to take the guage assembly apart again and check the grounds and wiring a second time.

You called us rice burners but you're helping to RICE out your GF's car... So you just made fun of her at the same time. To quote you... You are retarded and pathetic. Perhaps Clubsi can help you out or APC.com

Thanks for the advice, but as you stated I can't run high 13's all day, well maybe if I started in third, and had the A/C on with 139 db of music blaring, then maybe I would hit the illustrious 13's!!! Anyway, seriously I appreciate your help, Don't get pissed it's all in good fun.

All you guys are stupid immature kids....whats wrong with indiglo gauges? I think they look cool, there is nothing "rice" about indiglo gauges. I swear you guys all all pathetic, this guy is trying to ask a simple technical question and you guys flame him about the indiglos. He doesnt care what you guys think about his indiglos, all he is asking is what may be wrong with his temperature gauge after he installed his indiglos. Sheesh.

Thank-you, at least understand. I don't know how this started but i am seriously just tryingn to get a little help, and this is seriously turning me off of the import scene, atleast the American muscle car scene has cool people that are willing to help. As opposed to the imature bullshit in the rice scene.
