Default eg gas guage

sometimes when i drive, my gas guage would drop (a couple of notches) for 30 sec, then it would go back up to where ever it was at...could this be my fuel pump giving me incorrect readings or is it somthing else?

You talking about when you do turns, go up hill, downhill? Cause if so its normal for hondas to do that cause the gas in the tank moves around!

That's what I like to call a "Tank Slapper."

It's only normal for your car to do this if the car is at an angle or just did a "tank slapper."

If it is just doing this whenever it feels like it, like at a light, your sending unit/fuel pump is more than likely going bad.

dont know about sending unit or fuel pump being the problem. the first thing i would check is the float. but chances are its just fuel slapping around (30 secs )

Japan. The car was stock when I bought it aside from some autozone bling. I probably have the fuel light because mine has the AT bezel without a tach.
