94 Chevy S 10 2.2L. Along with my idle/transmission problem, I also have a problem with the temp gage. I put a new sensor in , but gage still does not work. Any ideas?

the gauge is in the dash. from the temp sensor trace the wire back to make sure it's not broken anywhere.if not replace the gauge.
