throttle position sensor? Any codes?

no codes, the engine is running fine no problems at all, its only the gauge that is going crazy it's gonna be fine for a while then i hit a bump and it starts going crazy again until theres another bump

Pull out the cluster and re-connect all of the connectors. My fuel and temp gauges used to be weird (used to drop to 0 randomly or jump around), then I noticed that they went back to normal for a few seconds if I smacked the dash above them. I pulled the cluster to replace some bulbs and now I haven't had a single issue with them.

Yes same thing when i hit it it goes normal a bit, so I guess I'll do what you said once the temperature rises -30 C is a bit too cold to be doing that

Change the cluster. Common problem.
