Default I have a couple problems all?

1. is my speedo bounces up to 80kph and its reading way off, I replaced head unit with another and it does the same thing.Should the speed sensor be my next step since The cable should either work or not work....right?

2. My temp guage was staying at the bottom all the time so I replaced it with another and now its still at the bottom. My question is which of the coolent sensors under the hood controls the guage?

3. My oil pressure is reading quite low and under hard acceleration it flicks up and drops a notch but If I ease into the rpms the guage moves up pretty steady.

Any help or opinions from you guys would be great, thanks in advance..

for your speedo i wouldnt hurt to replace the cable and gear the cable is 20 bucks and the gear is 8 bucks not a lot of money. for your oil gauge sounds like you might need a new sending unit atleast i think just wait for someone else to jump in on that one

if it still does it after you replace the cable it's possible if the unit replaced was done with another used one that you got another bad head unit..I've had that happen before

Alright I took her on the highway last night and the speedo straigntens out at 80 and seems accurate.So I should just have to grease that I guess.

Would someone be able to tell me where the temp guage sender and the oil pressure sender are located??
Thanks,
