I was wondering on the gauges the one w. the oil symbol... does that gauge temp or pressure?
I just took out my TA for a drive and noticed it started out at 30 , sometimes when I pressed the accelerator it would go up. After the car ran for 20min / 1/2 hr it went down to 0.
Car sat for 13 yrs, I would expect some of the gauges not to work.

That's oil pressure.
It's odd that it goes to 0 though. I'd look into that.

Uh yeah, don't drive or even start the car until you can otherwise verify that the engine has oil pressure. Unless of course you want to buy a new engine.
