my 05 gt temps needle has gone loco. when i turn the key on its usually higher then its supposed to be (when the car is cold), once the car warms up the needle moves like it should, its just not in the right spots. went to start the car today, its been sitting for about a month starting it every couple days, and the needle was way down low, past the gauge reading. anyone have problems with this?

I believe there was another thread with similar problems with the gas and I think the rpm needles. It turned out to be the motors in the back that control the needle. They would get cold and then were sticky for a while or they would just not work at all. Try doing a search for the thread unless someone has better eyes than I and found it?
