the one that runs the gauge is on the thermostat housing so check the wire make sure it is not cut. the sensor might be bad as well

ground the wire under the stat housing and see if your guage goes all the way to hot if so its a bad sending unit

FOUND IT!! hahaha mystery solved, i was looking through my manuel and fount the wiring diagram and found out the wire is yellow with white, so i split open the harnes by the alternator and tested it and i got lucky( or was it skill, u decide, hahaha)
Thanks for the help guys, i got pics up of it in the rides section...
