Fuel Gauge problem.

[99RedDragonCamaro]

My fuel gauge just started acting all weird. It will hang out at the Full mark for most of the tank of gas. Then it will slowly bounce back and forth between 3/4 and Full. Then when its almost out of gas it drops to the appropriate level (I think). However, its getting worse.

Now, is the fuel pump causing this? Or am I going to have to replace something in my dash?

My guess is the fuel pump. So where is it? In the tank or can I access it from under the back seat/hatch area?

Thanks.

im pretty sure its not the fuel pump ;)

i could either be the actual gauge but i doubt it cause i would think it just wouldnt move. and the other thing is the fuel level sending unit. kinda like a bobber i think in the tank [img]smile.gif[/img]

i just had this fixed 2 weeks ago...90% sure its the fuel level sender, they cost about 100$. bad news, is that its inside the tank, and to get to the fuel tank you have to drop the rear and to have that done in labor could be another 150-200

Thanks for the posts.

Isn't the floating gauge thing located on the fuel pump?

Either way, it sounds like the problem is probably in the tank. Crap!

alright, i couldnt find the part number, but all you have to do is go to a pontiac dealerhip and go to their service parts place on the inside, and ask for the firebird fuel level sender, he should be able to look it up in the computer. mine was exactly $107

EDIT: just found the paper- part 25316321

DAMN!! its only 53$ on www.gmpartsdirect.com
