The BIG multi Pin plug on the offside wing below the power steering reservoir is the one to check and clean with contact cleaner. The contacts can get dirty and cause this sort of problem.

YOu can test the sender unit by grounding it out . That should give a FULL scale reading on the display.. If all else fails replace the appropriate sender unit. I think there are two on most models one for the eec and one for the gauge .. The gauge one only has ONE wire.
