Thanks for the help Jeff.... in no way is that a mean comment, its very true. I found both of those sensors up underneath the manifold but it wasnt untill I looked at another trooper and saw where there is a yellow wire with a black stripe on it that connects to a pin on the air intake side of the engine and that is actually what made my gauge start working. as far as everything else is concerned I put the battery back in and started it up last night and it worked just fine... all the lights in the instrument cluster all come on when the key is turned to acc and once its started all the lights go off except for the 02 light. when it was idleing rough a few days ago the check engine light would blink on for a second then go off but that doesnt happen anymore. so all lights work as they should. thanks for all the help!!
