Default Rpm gauge reading high

I got a 95 Jeep Cherokee sport, 4.0 ho 4x4 auto. After a couple days of sitting, sometimes when i start it up the RPM gauge is reading 4k on the gauge but is really idling fine its like this gauge = 4k rpms....idle = normal . when I drive down the road it goes up to close to redline but the vehicle has normal light acceleration rpms but the gauge says differently, it's goes to normal after a minute of so of driving then once shut off and started back up it reads normal. And ideas? Thanks.

Are you just going to wait keep bumping this thread or try another gauge cluster?

Money is tight for me bro, I can't just go out and buy another gauge cluster, I would like to see what others think before I do go buy one, or to see if it is even the gauge cluster. Not here to argue just trying to get answers on a question, I can bump it all day if I wanted to because it is after all my post.

Okay. I've only messed with 97+ clusters.
The needle could be misaligned. When you turn off the power does it fall to 0 like it's supposed to?
