The only one gauge that works just spins no control as soon as i hit the accelerator? should i pick up a whole new one or take this one apart?

It's probably connections behind the dash...try and get back there and see what you have going on. remove the Instrument panel and look at the wiring/connections where everything plugs in...could be corroded like mine was. If it is, remove the cluster and lightly clean the contacts with contact oil and a used scotch brite pad or something and try and reinstall it and see what you get.
