Is your temperature gauge working?
Both are controlled by a voltage regulator behind the
instrument cluster - I've replaced it twice in the lifetime
of my 92PF.

Has the fuel tank sender unit ever been replaced?
My gas gauge either works intermittently, or partially,
and it's due to faulty contacts in the fuel sender unit.
It is located on the top of the fuel tank, and is gasketed,
and is accessed through the panel in the rear cargo area.
It's a "known problem" for those contacts to rust over time.
A new sender is not cheap, and there can be problem with
replacement if the bolts holding it to the fuel tank are
also rusted.
