Fuel gauge not working dodge intrepid 2002

SOURCE: Gas Gauge not working properly

First...how do you get 25 mpg...I get 21 or so!!!!  Additives will never work on this.  The price for the pump is $150-175 for an aftermarket unit.
I just did the tank job for the sender.  Get an aftermarket pump/sender.  DO NOT ORDER from RockAuto for this part...their listing is wrong.  They send the gasket...which comes with the replacement.  Replacing the unit is relatively easy:

• Have less than 5 gals of gas in the tank.
• Get the driver's side of the car in the air and support it.  
• Remove plugs to the left of the tank on the bottom of the vehicle
• Start car and allow gas pressure to subside...car will stall
• Remove the fill pipe from the left rear of the tank..there is a valve on the fill pipe which will contain all but a few drops of gas
• support the tank and remove the bolts that hold the tank straps and lower the tank.
• lower the tank and remove the vent hose at the rear of the tank so you can swing it out
• after swinging it out, prepare to remove the unit from the top of the tank retaining the connector snap ons for the new unit.  Clean the area around the pump to remove the possibility of contamination.  Tap the ring sharply counterclockwise to remove it from the tank.
• Remove old and install new, pressing the unit into the tank...be sure to use that new gaaket they gave you.  Tap on ring, swing tank back, reconnect hoses, raise and bolt up.  Plug in.
• Start the car after turning key and waiting for 15 seconds to start so pressure can build.

SOURCE: 2000 Dodge Intrepid with PO455 code and stalling.

A code 455 most likely one or more of the following has happened
a loose or bad gas cap
a non-conforming gas cap
other leaks or damage pieces in the evap system

Inspect the evap system for cracks or breaks in lines listen for vacume leaks or strong gas fume smell and fix all lines you find that are damaged ..I know you say you put a new gas cap but make sure it a conforming cap..Hope this helps

Testimonial: "Thank you!! I will def. tell my husband to check it out!! Thats the only code that comes up. So I hope this will help."

SOURCE: just need timing belt diagram 2002 dodge intrepid

your intrepid doesnt have a timing belt it has a chain. there are major problems with these engines, theres a big one with the chain jumping due to a tensioner breaking or a guide,heres a diagram for the chain setup.this is a very important setup make sure you use correct sprokets in the right place and also if it jumped timing il bet you may have some bent valves,

SOURCE: 2006 Dodge Gr. Caravan. Loud humming noise upon

Misalignment of the belt, incorrect belt, worn or loose tensioner, Too tight of an adjustment (many service centers do this on purpose so when the belt breaks in it becomes properly adjusted, I do not believe in this philosophy), The belt is actually one long belt called a serpentine belt.....

Hi:
Your tank sending unit is bad. Unfortunately, it is part of the fuel pump assembly, and the part costs around $400, give or take. plus installation labor. It is an all too common problem on GM vehicles, as I have had to change it on my last 2 GMs. If you do an internet search you will find plenty of others in the same boat!
