XtremeSigns · 10-24-2007, 09:11 PM

Im Trying To Get An Idea Why My Fuel Guage Keeps Going From Reading My Current Fuel Level To Empty. It Works Fine And Then Periodically Goes Directly To Empty, And Then Goes Back To Reading Fine Again...any Help Is Appreciated

Because.

It's a common problem. start setting the trip meter so that if it finally goes completely, you can still figure out with some accuracy how much is left in the tank, until (if) you replace the sending unit.

mine does that to, anytime whenever im just under half a tank, and i just shift either into neutral or put it in park n it goes back to full or where ever it was before

holy shit! did you have some one else do it though?

and like they all said. the fuel pump is the problem. i changed mine last winter when i bagged it.

got my pump off of ebay for $150, it's a new aftermarket one, and ive been running it all summer with over 8k miles.
