Hey,

n00b here my '91 CRX Si's fuel gauge never goes to 100% it always sits at 75%, anyone know why? Is this normal? I'm an idiot....

 

you're going to need a need fuel sending unit. this requires dropping the gas tank

 

If the gage in the cluster doesn't move at all replace the gage. You need an ohmmeter for the next part. Remove the back seat and remove the fuel level sending unit. Move the float up and down to simulate empty, 1/2 full, and full. Resistance should be 105-110 ohms (empty), 25.5-39.5 ohms (1/2 full), 2-5 ohms (full). Replace sending unit if resistance readings are out of spec.

 

its not the floater thats causing this?

 

::shrugs:: sounds good guys...this at least gives me an idea where to aim...I'm not gonna worry about it too much right now (unless you think I should?). I just ordered the RS*R ExMag exhaust so I'm a lil more into getting that on. Thanks again.

i get 250 - 370 depending on my driving habits

 

my guess is of course is a faulty gauge...
i get usually 260-400 depending on how fast i drive
