Maybe the gauge is faulty. try switching out the gauge? maybe the wiring isn't right or is broke and is barely making contact

the gauge always worked before the swap and the conectuity on both ends are fine

I have heard of this happening on 1J swaps before...I'm not sure of the reason tho... :\

hey it happened to me too just a little while ago
i tried taking out the sensor and cleaning it it helped a little bit but its still kinda up there. just buy a aftermarket one and use that....thts what i did......eventually ill buy a new sensor for it

Sounds like you need to swap in the 7M sender.... Even with the Aristo 2JZs, there are a couple of different sensors and sometimes one works without an issue, where others end up having to replace 'em becuse they are not compatible somehow.

I am using the 7M gauge and changed the wireing like all of the swap info sites say and mine works fine. I have even went and shot my laser temp sensor on the motor to see if the block was over the actual temp readout. But it was actually a little lower than normal operating temp. I would say check all of your connections under the dash and make sure you got them in the right place. It sounds like somthing has been wired backwards or sumthin you never know till you look into it.
