2002 mazda b3000 (ford ranger)
I got this 2002 mazda b3000 truck with 160, 000 km;s on it and it is auto with a 3.0 litre v6 engine
1st problem
I am having is that is takes along time to warm up for the gauge to move,maybe 7-10mins or even a bit longer
2nd problem
Once the truck is running and driving no matter what distance you drive it gives a slight stutter at a light or stand still, something like a misfire
3rd problem
if you tap the gas pedal quick at a stand still the oil pressure needle kind of hops a bit
oh yeah there is no CEL light on either and otherwise drives fine
email me if anyone can help me out thank you first truck ever

That sounds normal for the temperature gauge. It's a dummy gauge anyway...use a Scangauge to get a more accurate temperature reading.
My truck had a jumping oil pressure gauge too. Turned out to be the IAC valve...it was dirty which caused the idle to drop...oil pump couldn't keep the pressure up at such low RPM. Cleaned the IAC out and the gauge stayed steady. Keep in mind this is also a dummy gauge...reads in the middle unless pressure drops below 6 psi.
