are you using a sierra sender? are you sure its getting hot enough? do you have a decent earth from body to engine? does your fuel gauge read right? does the gauge read hot if you short the wire to the manifold? |

I would say your body to battery earth is shot, thats makes the gauges read funny and yeah vitara senders read low in a sierra, get a sierra sender or better yet a quality aftermarket gauge |

hey royce / joe i shorted the temp cable to the motor and it went right up to hot so that means that it has to be the wrong sender for that gauge right? |

it means the gauge and regulator are probably close enough to working right |
