Hi Josh:
I'd start by completely filling the fuel tank.
Since you know how far you usually can go on a full tank, when you have gone about alf that distance, the gauge should show about half a tank, and when you've gone just over 3/4 of that distance, the gauge should be starting to show on the low side.
At least, if you know that the gauge is not reading correctly, you won't run out of gas if you keep track of the distance and always fill the tank completely.
Hope this helps.
First disconnect battery, and before you drop tank check under rear carpet for an access panel (above tank) many newer vehicles have access panels just for this replacement. Other than that pretty straight forward.
Find the wire on the top of the tank and ground it with a test light,with the key on,if it goes to empty,then unplug it from the tank,the fuel gauge should go to ful,if it does these two things,then it is in the sending unit in the fuel tank.If it does not move,then replace the fuel gauge in the dash,If this was at all helpful,please rate,thank you.
fill up a squirt can with transmission fluid and spray it in the intake when the engine is running do this slowly. the cars exhaust will smoke horribly bad and stink as equally bad. but the transmission fluid will actually knock the carbon off your valves.
hope this helps
please rate me if you want
thanks
