The Factory Service Manual has test procedures for tboth the gauge and the sender. Might check that the wire is plugged securely into the sender, I had a problem with my oil pressure gauge dropping to 0 every now and then and it was a bad connector on the sender. I rebent the metal inside the connector shell to make it fit tighter and it has been fine since.

There's a couple temp senders on the engine. Check each one's connector. There are at least 3 thermo sender/sensors on my 85 22re.

Here's an 1985 Service Manual
