Question: FAULTY GAS GAUGE

Question

Visitor, Jacksonville, FL, March 03, 2010, 06:35

EVERY SO OFTEN, MY GAS GAUGE REFUSES TO MOVE WHEN I START THE CAR. SOME TIMES IT WILL STAY THAT WAY FOR DAYS, AND OTHER TIMES, IT WILL GO BACK TO NORMAL THE NEXT TIME I START THE CAR. I'VE NEVER ENCOUNTERED THIS PROBLEM, OR ANYTHING LIKE IT, ON ANY CAR I'VE EVER OWNED.

    You'd have to ohm out the gas gauge wiring when its failing to see if its the gauge or the sending unit
