My fuel gauge starts off low then once I start driving the meter slowly goes up to full but if I just turn it on without driving the gauge would stay at a steady position. I think that the correct reading of the gauge is when I just start it up without driving but then it starts to move/go up once I start driving

SOURCE: I got a 2000 olds intriuge, fuel gauge stays on full.

in your tank thers a float it could be sticking failing that the clock is faulty

SOURCE: fuel gauge goes haywire at 1/4 tank. what causes

well usually it is the fuel sending unit it got old and shorted out start to read erratically i will check this one first

SOURCE: 1988 cutlas calais, turns over but no start.

check your fuel filter first ? and have your tech attach a fuel pressure/volumn gage to see if its the pump? you may need to spray starting fluid to see if it starts to eliminate igniton/ computer issues first? the pump only runs for 5 seconds when you turn the key thats normal? good luck autodoc

SOURCE: Fuel gauge stuck behind peg at FULL mark

one thing you can try is to get one of those magnetic pick up tools at a parts store.......prefferably one with a large magnet...and put a cloth around the end of it so you dont scratch the plastic on you gauges and try to pull it back to where it belongs,i have done this a few times with good results,hope this helps

Testimonial: "Thanks for the tip. A strong magnet to the right side of the instrument cluster was used to reset the needle clockwise to its proper position."

SOURCE: Fuel gauge is reading empty, and the low fuel

the fuel level sensor in your fuel pump has gone bad. it is intergral to the entire sending unit assembly (fuel pump), and is located inside the gas tank. you must lower the gas tank to gain access. good luck!
