it's a 92 ls, i bought the car about a year ago (it had the problem then, but not as bad). My fuel gauge isnt working when i fill up my tank the needle says it's about 3/4 full.....but lately thats been changing also (it hasnt gone to a constant make lately) right now the needle range is about 1/4 below empty 2 3/4 full. like i said before the used to not drop that far below empty (when the needle is that low, the fuel light doesnt come on...even though it has came on before) so can someone help me out? what should i look for or test.....to try and fix the problem?

 

help

 

bump to end the night

 

kinda off topic but still deals with the fuel gauge..
In a 99 gsr does the fuel gauge rise really slowly after you fill upyour tank? it takes like three or four minutes for me when i fillmy tank for it to get to "full"

 

i dont really know how to test your guage..but you could use your trip guage on your odometer to keep track of mileage..you go approx the same miles on each tank..

get a helms..it should have a section to troubleshoot any problem you can think of

Try this thread. That guy has the same problem.

If this doesn't fix it. Fill the tank, pull the guage needle, and set it to full.

 

does it move at all? my dad's bonneville would be empty at 1/4 tank and full at 3/4 tank, that problem was the gauge.
