Why are all my guages off?

My Tach bounces all over the place, my Speedometer is way off, and my temp gauge shoots up anytime I accelerate. It's so annoying and I hate driving people and them see all my guages orgasm. My odometer is also off, it's putting more unneccessary miles on my car evertime I drive!

I wanted to do Digital Guages, for that more modern look. Should I get my gauges fixed and then do the Digital guage swap or just put them in and maybe they can fix themselves? I don't know anything about this or the why my guages are off.

Help Appreciated, Thanks.

Re: Why are all my guages off?

weird, check your temp sensors, tach wire/plug (depends on your distributor as to what it looks like and where its located.), um as for your speedo being off check the cable that goes to your transmission if its loose or maybe the gear on the end of the cable is worn out...but you might just want to go with all manual gauges, they are more accurate anyway. (at leats in my opinion) any way i hope i helped.
