hi, i have a 98 civic d16y8, for some reason when i step on the gas hard, my fuel guage needle drops, i can even see it move, but when i let the car run at a constant speed, the needle would goes back up to where it was dropped from.

is this normal?

thx

 

not sure about the hard gas pushing. but my needle drops when i take sharp turns. especially right hand turns.

good luck with an answer man!

It's normal. This happens to me and many other Civic owners. Mine is especially bad when the needle reads about 1/2 a tank. Then it moves upon acceleration, during turns, or going up/down hills (for obvious reasons). But otherwise, it's normal and reads as it should.

 

yes this is normal and i hate it. It happens to almost every civic owner i know, its a bitch at times when ur not paying attention and look to see that u have no gas, when its really all there.

 

Seems like we have one of these threads every week...its normal
