Okay, first off did you get a pair of 90-91 gauge faces. Cause the 88-89 will not work. The gauges are just a little bigger I beileve. I'm compared them one time. Also, they should be meant for the civic cause if they're for the CRX, the gauges on them are held into place differently. I tryed this on my crx gauge in my civic.

And for the idle being off near zero. There is two possiblitys, either u touched the tach needle somehow (they are very, extremely sensitive) or your idle is very low. Try adjusting your idle to see if it jumps up.

Dude, you have to wait on replys, people aren't just going to send you a message every 5 minutes.

Okay, it seems like your idle is fine. So look at the other thing I posted. The only thing I can think of is that you touched the needle (somehow) when installing those white gauges and it screwed it up. It also could be that one of the plugs behind the gauge that plugs into it might be loose. I could also be that maybe the white gauge covers are maybe rubbing up against the needle letting it not move all that easy. See if those are the problems. If not, you might have to look for another gauge cluster.
