Euc? Do you mean ecu, the computer? Don't think so. Something in the cluster, maybe the little voltage regulator on the back of the cluster. But if the engine light is flashing, definitely have it scanned for trouble codes, first, to see why the light is on. The light may indicate a poor link or connection with the cluster.

SOURCE: Gas gauge goes to empty and then full after fillup

very well sounds like the sending unit in the tank. Try running some octane booster and fuel injection cleaner in tank of the truck to loosen any deposits on the float.

Most likely the cluster is bad or the wires at the connector have issues.

SOURCE: 1984 nissan 300zx oils pressure gauge goes to

Sounds like an electrical problem, make sure the ground leads to the engine are good and the battery terminals are clean. It might just be a bad connection in the wiring harness try jiggling the connections to see if it makes the gauges jump when it is running.

I have a 2000 Chevy Tahoe my check gages light comes on and my gas needle floats and my oil pressure bounces up and down but the vehicle doesn't loose power do you think the switch is going bad

Sounds like the wiring harness connection in the back of the speedo cluster is loose. This will cause crazy reading and the vehicle will perform like normal... sound about right??

Gas gage goes crazy,how do I know if its the sensor or the float on my 1995 chev. Tahoe 1500

If your "goes crazy" means what I think it does, it's unlikely to be a float. That failure mode is "empty" all the time.
I'd say either sensor or wire between sensor and gauge.

My gas hand is going a little crazy, it will go to full and stay a while then move to empty, and I just put a new fuel pump and sender in it, what should I do now ?

I can only think of two possibilities:
1) The Ground Wire (goes from the sending unit in the fuel tank to the frame of the car) is not getting a good connection or
2) The fuel gauge in the dashboard is bad.

If your description means that the change in the gas gauge is random then check the ground wire. If you have a volt-ohm meter, try checking the resistance from the wire where it attaches to the sending unit, negative side. Remove wire from sending unit first. Make sure negative wire on V_O meter is connected to frame of car. Reading should be almost zero. Anything else and the wire you are testing does not have a good connection.
If your description means that you turn the car on and the gas gauge is reading full for awhile and then goes to empty, the gas gauge is bad.

What's the easiest way to change the spark plugs and my gas gauge bounces around alot it goes from full to empty. my 4wheel drive wont engage either

jack it up, use jack stands. take off the front wheels, and go in through the wheel well to get to the spark plugs. Gas gauges on every blazer is freaking crazy. mine acts up when it`s at a 1/4 tank. Park up hill it shows more, park down hill, it shows empty.

To much trouble to replace, unless you have the time and money to replce the sending unit.

Oil pressure guage drops low when at idle but when excelerating reads normal [email protected]

Mine does the same thing, the gauge is like a tachometer, it revs like crazy, but holds steady at high speed, it goes down to about 10 at idle, 35 at cruise speed and it will go up to 55 if I step on it. But remember it is just a pressure gauge, it will read this pressure with 1 qt of oil in there, so don't use it for a level indicator. Check the oil, and you know if it has oil in it. Hope this helps.

92 voyager check gage light

That is the oil pressure gauge not the oil level gauge. Sometimes they can act that way when the oil is thin. When is the last time the oil was changed? Try using a heavier weight oil. When engines wear they require thicker oil. What size engine does you voyager have?

Dash guages going crazy

Your dashboard circuit is probably burnt out. The same thing happened to me, it's like a $20 part but is about $60 with installation, check with a dealer though.
