Default Gauges not reading... Help :(

Well its been five years since this car has ran, its a 99 T/a and i just installed the motor and connected all the connectors and grounds, but the only gauge that is working is my batterie gauge. The light in the dash turns on and marks the mileage. The car turns on but im afraid to leave it on for more than a couple of secs because i cannot see my oil pressure. Has someone had this happen before. If so i would appreciate the help. Thanks

Ok well looking around on the search threads, i found out that the three ground wires behind the drivers side head don't all go to the same bolt. I had them all tied down with the same bolt, would that have caused my temp, oil pressure and gas gauge to not read? I still need to go back bolt up the two grounds that are together to that one bitch *** bolt behind the head, but i dont know where the pcm ground connects to?
