I found the wire and it was cut, i must have cut it to take the V6 out. Any ways I went to the junkyard and cut the connector off of another car. I hooked it up and to test it i touched the wire to the motor to ground it and the gauge went all the way up. I also got the sender out of the same car. I had a plug in my head where the sender goes. It's too hot to hook it up now so i'll wait for the sun to go down. thanks for your help.

Funny..you went to the junkyard too, huh ? lol

Good to hear you found your wire. It's a good sign that the gauge pegged when you grounded it too
