Default Temp gauge/sensor

My temp gauge registers and then drops down/gives no reading, then it comes back. Thought it was the sensor, so i replaced it, now it still does the same thing, where should i check other than the connector itself, is it poss the gauge itself is funked??? thanks

it is the connector on the sensor most likely, mine was the slip on crap too, and i cut it off and replaced it with a screw down end, never had a problem again
