Fuel Level and Oil pressure pegged, Tach and Speedo are dead

I was messing around with somethings trying to get the car fully ready for tuning and when I came back to turn the car on I first noticed that the odometer wasnt coming on. After it started the oil pressue is fully pegged and the fuel level seems to be pegged all the time. The tach and speedo also seem to not be working. Although on my pfc commander it is showing my rpm and speed just fine. I was wondering if anyone could give any tips that would help my get this problem solved.

Thanks

I had the exact same problem last night when I first started up my new engine, although my fuel level was down at E. I'd love to hear a solution.

No, the only grounds going to the PFC are the ones that go through the harness.

Is there a non-obvious ground wire for the gauges that needs to be connected near the ecu? I still have no gauges and thats the only area that I have messed with.
