Hey guys, i have a 97 breeze-same as stratus obviously! I put in white face guages and i reapainted my needles-meaning i had to take them off-now none of my needles are accurate at all!! What can i do to make them all right? If you dont know what i meen-i have a half tank of gas, but my guage says zero....when i start my car my rpm doesnt move till i rev it up real high, until then its a zero, lol. my speed is off, ad im sure my temp is off to! What can i do to make all of these back to the right specs!![>:] thanks!

 

Well if you would have posted BEFORE I could have told you how to do it correctly... Since you already screwed up the calibration I'll give you the best guesses to get it back to being close ....
Fuel go to the gas station and put absolutely the most gas you can in the car ... Start the car let it run for a couple minutes then carefully remove the needle and reinstall at the full mark

Speedo,remove the needle,beg borrow or steal a GPS unit get out on the highway and set the cruise control at whatever speed limit is as indicated on the GPS ,If you can't get one get a freind with an accurate speedo to pace you... CAREFULLY install the needle at the indicated speed...

Temp gauge What did it normally run at when hot probably 1/2 gauge set it there when hot

Tach if you remember what the car idled at set it there .. The reason it doesn't move till revved very high is possibly it's to tight on the gauge faces...

 

One,.........i did this about two ears ago and am finally redoing the car, and i didnt think about it then,..........two,........everything you said i thought of........i didnt know if there was a REAL way of calibrating it so they were true. Like i said, what you said i thought of and did. Thanks though! i know i should of marked them when i did it!
