I don't believe it to he be a Temperature senor issue either because of the following.
On startup, my gauge doesn't run through the typical startup sweep like the other gauges. Also when shutting down the engine, the needle doesnt always return to zero. When it doesnt return to zero and i do a cold start, oil temps will generally show an increase of the normal 180-220, from where i started.
So i believe my issue to be in the stepper motor of the gauge not being controlled properly. Has anyone had this issue before and is there a remedy or do i need to replace the gauge? (I tried cutting the battey, but it doesnt work)
Thanks for the assistance!!

def sounds like the gauge itself if all the other ones are working correctly. Sad part is it is going to be a huge pain to fix as those gauges are not the easiest to remove and replace...hope it isnt anything else but havent had this problem before
