My car is a 91 RS and it has a ZZ4 crate swapped into it and no computer any more how can i get my speedo and gas gauge to work now? does anyone have a wiring diagram to help me out with the routing of all the wiring in these two circuits?

I could be wrong, but I think the guage is wired in series with the fuel pump circuit.

Nope, that is an engine electrical diagram. That's what your wires looked like before the zz4 deal. I'm gonna check my chiltons after i eat. I've seen the fuel level sender unit in there.

Ok, i lied. I believe it's on its own circuit. Looking at the diagram, 2 wires lead to the tank for the fuel gage. One being pink, the other black. Both go through a connector named C313. From there, the black goes through ground distribution spot G304. The pink leads to the fuel gage in the instrument cluster. Coming out of the fuel gage, is a pink/black wire (C1 on instrument connector) which leads to the fuse block (10A fuse).

Hope this helps.
