A few weeks ago I pulled the gas tank out of my '89 2.5 Turbo Spirit to put in a Walbro 255 fuel pump. Ever since then, the fuel gauge can't make up its mind. It'll swing all over the place, including below empty, any time it feels like it. If I'm driving on a smooth road, bumpy road, going around curves, start and stop traffic, it makes no difference.
It never shows MORE fuel than what I really have. It just varies all over from below empty to the true fuel level.
Yesterday I backed the car up on ramps and made sure the connector was making good contact and was fully seated on the gas tank. That part was fine. But it still does it.
I didn't disturb the fuel sending unit assembly when I was changing the pump.
So what else can it be? The gauge itself going bad? Could the sender be going bad? I have another stock fuel gauge I could try.
