ok my old fuel gauge is not working, so i get a new one. i filed up the gas, and put the needle to 'F' then i start up the car, but fuel needle go all the way down to E,like below E! any idea why is that?

 

why not leave it on e and let the gauge move on its own

 

I wonder if 94-97 and 98-01 cluster issues has an effect to this. I doubt it since it's all in the green film. Did you make sure those screws that hold it in are screwed on well?

there's your problem... you need a 98+ cluster

you change the green film from you 99 cluster into your 94-97 cluster... you'll be gold.... i just did this 3 min ago

u mean if i change the green film, my fuel gauge should work then?

 

well... since your car is a 99.... you need a 98+ cluster or at least a 98+ green film in the back of your 94-97 cluster

like i said every other things r work well..my PROBLEM is the fuel gauge.. i took the cluster out, replace the fuel guage, filed up gas, and set the fuel needle pointing F, then start up the car.. the needle was going all the way down to E.
i wondering why

 

Did you check your fuel pump? There is a lever on the pump which tells the needle if it full or not. As the lever inside the fuel pump goes down so does the needle on the cluster. Check your connections on the pump. Its either a bad pump lever or needs an adjustment, or you have a damaged wire/loose connection.

 

where to check the fuel pump?

 

Under the rear seat cushion

 

i have this problem too but mine is staying on "f"

so how is this now?

 

first off... which cluster do you have? 94-95 or 96-97? 98+? i'm not sure if there's a difference between a 94-95 and 96-97 cluster but there is a difference for sure between the 96 and the 99... i have a 99 gsr.. i put in a 96 type r cluster in... fuel does not work because of the older cluster... you have to change the green film to the year of your car....

 

in the obd1(94-95) cars, the obd2(96and up), gas gauge on the cluster does not work

 

im not sure which year(94-97) gsr cluster it is. but from this

even more specifically, my 96 itr cluster(fuel gauge) (which is obd2) doesn't work on my 99 gsr (obd2 also)

 

i should ask this earier.. i thought my fuel gauge is not working, and i bought one too... now seems like not the fuel gauge..damn

 

Did the film swapping work?

 

anyone know how much the green sheet/film cost? my gas gauge is broken too. i got a scratch on the green sheet and now my gauge is always past full
