Did you run your FMU lines backwards? Did you install an inline or intank? Is the gauge going up and down at idle or under load? Did you check for leaks?

first off did you hook the inline fuel pump correctly. Second i would check your wiring to the main relay that you used fro your fuel pump. Also there is so many different things it could be. I would try to check codes comign from ECU if any. Map sensor is usually one of the culprits

No it was running really good. Just today it is acting funny. I don't know how to check for leaks. Please help. When idleing it goes down when i am driving it goes back up. The fuel guage that is. I don't think i install it backwards cuz it was running fine untill today. ANY AVICE IS GREATLY APPRECIATED.!!

It is flucuating but not cuase by the car hesitating. The car hesitates a lot when i try to rev or give it gas it takes like two to three sec before the car responds and it responds like stock response NO POWER! I use to can feel mad power now its worse then stock. Please HELP!!!
THANKS FOR ALL THE REPLY's SO FAR!

my best quess is that it is your fuel pump acting up because you have a low amount of gas 1/4tank or less..... your fuel pressure will fluctuate when you have low level of gas and a nice hi flow aftermarket pump,....

hope this is your problem, because everyone *hopefully* knows how to gas up

Wait, what guage is it? Fuel Pressure Gauge? Or is it an Air Fuel Gauge? cause if it's the air fuel gauge its gonna fluctuate up and down unless you're at WOT.

Check the fuel pump. Maybe u installed it wrong, maybe the pick up came off. I have heard of this problem before, u have to be care full when u insert the fuel "pillow" on the end of the pump, it has to go as low into the tank as possible.
