Default fuel pressure gauge??

think my fuel pressure gauge or temperature?? anyway it is fuzzy. it seems to work when it wants to... randomly it will just sink below the L and then sit in the middle again then sink to the L. im pretty sure the gauge is just ****ed up cause i notice no performance difference.

when it was at the L i stepped on it and got up to about 90 and the gauge started working again (sat in the middle where it should be).

i heard its common for the gauges to mess up so i just want to get some opinions.

thanks

top right is oil pressure, which is usually a bad gauge anyways

The stock cluster are considered dummy gauges...most of them dont work properly..if your concerned about monitoring your engine temp etc....i'd go and buy aftermarket gauges!

well it dosnt feel like its low

im pretty sure the gauge is just wacky

i drove a 91 GT and it had bad oil pressure so a red light was always on. i dont see any red lights on my dash.
