Here ya go. This a cold start.

 

Shouldn't matter at start up, just be sure the needle is zeroed.

 

thanks LOJAC

 

No worries. Check youtube as well. There is a ton of videos on swapping stepper motors and zeroing the needles. Watch multiple videos, different people have different methods. Good luck and let us know if you need anything else!

 

Best method is to set it real time with a scanner. I replaced all of mine, followed directions and found that they are off from my OBDII readings.
