does it move at all when you turn on the car, or turn off the car?the gauge should move to the middle, and not move from that position...so if thats what it does, then its ok....if you mean it stays pinned to the right when you start the car, and never moves off the start point, then your gauge or sensor or something could of gone....little more detail please.

there are two sensors...one that goes to the computer, and one to the dash....u would have to check them to see if its getting a signal, could just be a cut wire or something....this is on a regualar 240sx, with the KA motor right, no swap?
