I would go back to the instrument cluster. Take it apart and clean all the copper traces with a pencil eraser.

It's a long shot, but you might also want to take the ground strap that goes from the engine to the firewall and clean it up.

Sometimes a firm rap on the dash settles them down to normal..but the cleanup is the best thing to do.

Usually around the ICVR as the corrosion grounds out the circuit causing the gauges to pin.
