Gas guage sometimes works, it will work for like a couple hrs and then will sit on e for weeks at a time.

Temp guage only rises to the bottom line.

Odometer doesn't work at all.

I'm not mechanical at all, wondering what this is going to cost me?

I have a 1996 2.3 4 banger.

I put a can of seafoam in the gas tank and the guage worked for two days.

I think it maybe a bad ground coming off of the dash / panel cluster...

gas gauge is probably the sending unit in the tank

the temp gauge could be working fine maybe someone put a 180 t-stat in.

odometer is probably the speed sensor. I think it is in the differential. $20
 
As for the fuel gauge issue, I had the same problem as you. The brass float for the sending unit had a small pin hole in it causing it to loose its buoyancy. I got just the brass barrel float portion from mustangs unlimited for about 13 bucks shipped to my door. The catalog will call out fitting a 67-68 mustang, disregard that, It was a perfect fit on my truck. As for the odometer, my coworker had the same issue, we took the cluster/speedo apart and found the plastic drive gears stripped for the digits. We ended up going to the junk yard and getting another speedo.
