2008 Escape Fuel gage reads empty

You replaced the fuel gauge stepper motor two times ? Did you do it correctly ?

Fuel Gage
The IPC displays the fuel level as determined by the PCM. The IPC receives a class 2 message from the PCM indicating the fuel level percent. The fuel gage defaults to empty if:
• The PCM detects a malfunction in the fuel level sensor circuit.
• The IPC detects a loss of class 2 communications with the PCM.
When the fuel level is less than a pre-determined value, the low fuel indicator illuminates.
Reviewing the fuel system description will further explain how the system functions. Refer to Fuel System Description .

Did you try replacing the fuel level sensor ? Check for DTC'S diagnostic trouble codes ?

Not sure about P0195, but P093 is for a problem with the fuel rail pressure sensor. The sensor could be faulty or it could be accurate when the fuel system is empty.
Your sending unit for the fuel gauge could be off. Can you check the amount of fuel it takes to fill the tank when the gauge reads half ? If the gauge is right it should take half of the capacity of the tank to fill it up.

this is caused by a defective gas gage sending unit, the sending unit is part of the fuel pump module inside the gas tank, the gas tank must be removed to replace the fuel pump module that also contains the sending unit.

Testing the fuel gage requires accessing the harness from the fuel pump and grounding the yellow / white wire with 160 ohms resistance this should cause the gage to read full, and with the circuit open you should have the gage reading empty. If the gage works in this order then the likely failure is the sending unit in the tank , and will require replacement.

You have a bad fuel level sensor.The fuel tank needs to come out and the sensor replaced.You don`t have to replace the pump assembly.You can get the level sensor separate.I`m not sure if the parts stores have it but I know the dealerships do.Hope this helps.Good luck.

either a fuse on the fuse block is faulty (not likley if other gages are working),,,,,of the gage itself needs replacing....also the sendind unit at the tanks might be bad bad and not responding to the jumpering.

May need new fuel pump assembly has fuel level built onto it. Only way to fix.

Faulty Fuel Pump, and run an injection cleaner into your gas tank (you can buy a bottle at your local parts shop) then get the fuel filters checked or replaced.

Chances are contaminated gas clogged your fuel works.

For a quick fix: Open the gas cap at 1/4 tank to relieve the vacuum. it will make your pump work less.

Usually if the gas gage does not work yes it is true it may be the sensor if it is electronicly controlled. the sncor will more than likley be in the tank. here is how to remove your gas tank.

1. Before servicing the vehicle, refer to the precautions section.
   
2. Relieve fuel system pressure.
   
3. Drain the fuel tank.
   
4. Remove or disconnect the following:
   
   • Negative battery cable
     
   • Fuel filler and vent hoses
     
   • Fuel tank skid plate
     
   • Fuel tank wiring connectors
     
   • Fuel supply and return lines
     
   • Fuel tank
     
   • Fuel pump assembly
     Fuel pump assembly mounting
     

To install:

1. Install or connect the following:
   
   • Fuel pump assembly
     
   • Fuel tank. Tighten the bolts to 27 ft. lbs. (36 Nm).
     
   • Fuel supply and return lines
     
   • Fuel tank wiring connectors
     
   • Fuel tank skid plate
     
   • Fuel filler and vent hoses
     
   • Negative battery cable
     
2. Start the engine and check for leaks.
   

I don't know this car, but it could be that an intermittent short in the fuel gage doesn't give enough time for the fuel needle to move, but does effect all the other dials intermittently. Or maybe the instrument panel has a ground wire that is intermittent. Good luck.
