I was posting problems like this a while back. Make sure the ground wire from your wire harness to the engine is grounded correctly (On a fox it's and orange cable on the back of the block), also check the ground cable from the engine to the chassis. The service manual tells you how to use two resistors (Radio Shack) to check proper operation of the guage. I ended up having a bad temp sender.
