When you turn the car on, does the gauge peg itself as a "self check" then drop to 0? Or is it just stuck at 0 all the time?

Check the connection to the sensor on the driver's side head. If the wire is not making contact the guage will peg at zero.

There's a single green wire that would be floating over there somewhere. It connects to a little sensor screwed into the driver side cylinder head. It has a single male blade-type connection, so the green wire will have a single female reciever.
Sensor looks like this:
