What 202 has 1 and a half tank of gas, goes more than 170mph with an rpm of 8000?

Problem happened a few days ago when the car was having a hard time starting due to cold weather. Started the car one night and the gauges just went berserk. The outside temp display is stuck at 137F, my odometer reset to 0. The gauges go back to the resting position when car is turned off. There is a thread here with a similar problem to the temperature gauge and a link in the thread suggested putting a ground directly from the back of the cluster. Another forum had threads about sticky needles but this is the opposite of my problem. Here's what I have done so far to remedy this problem:
-removed cluster and reseated both connectors
-tried to put a ground but the back cluster is all plastic, no metal screw to wire a ground
-disconnected battery to do a reset
-replaced the 11 year old battery with a new one
-checked for bad grounding and none found
-tried to reset the cluster by holding down the reset button in all ignition positions
Unfortunately, none of the above worked. Any other suggestions besides getting a replacement cluster? Thanks!
