Help!

like my other thread says, i messed up my gauges. I need anyones help.

Does anyone know the stock idle RPM for our 3.8's? I think its 750 but cant remember.

Also, if anyone has a picture of there gauge cluster while the car is running, i would really appriciate (f spelling) it.

If i were you what I'd do is run my car about 15 minutes, fill the gas tank, and put the temp needle and battery needle in the middle(i think) and the gas tank one obviously at full. That's what i did when I replaced my gauge faces, son of a bitch mph is 5 off though.

yea, i just went out and filled the tank, and fixed all the guages. I think my mph is pretty close, as well as my rpm. But i want to get my rpm almost exact because i dont wanna smack the rev limiter at the track (nos)

1.Put the key in ignition
2. Press in the trip counter button and keep it held down
3 turn the key to "on" position
4. it'll flash and change letting you know to release the trip counter button
5. Instead of seeing the mileage youll see a digital read out of diagnostics
6. Press the trip counter button untill it shows the rpms.
