Hey guys im totally stumped on this one, Everytime I accelerate..

My Temp gauge meter.. Flies down to ZERO like Low..-- I let my gas go.. it will stumble to go back its normal stage.-

If I let the gas go and clutch go it releases, and then it comes back up faster then when I let go off the gas with the car in gear.

Any IDEAS???

Well A clue would be something about your temp gauge. It was quite hard to understand the post, a tip was "let my gas go" however Exibit 2b in the FSM shows the temp gauge is controlled by a sender next to the CTS. Its a 1 wire, using resistance to give a reading.

You have an electrical short, it should be the opposite of what your experiencing. A fun fact treat is when you decel, the temps will go down.

Ground the signal wire from the sender directly to the intake. What happens to the gauge? If it reacts the same, jumping and erratic, the gauge is bad. If it goes to one point smoothly and stays there, the sender is bad.
