Do you know how to test automotive electrical circuits using a DVOM - digital volt ohmmeter ? Do you have access to wiring diagram, service repair info. so you know how this thing's work>
You need to learn how to diagnose electrical systems
Depending on your year it could be a weak lift pump not being able to lift the fuel to the injection pump, in which case the injection pump will be quickly damaged as it relies on a steady flow of fuel to lubricate and cool it.
on older models there may be a break in the pickup line inside the tank. Suggest you keep tank above quarter full at all times until you decide what to do..replace lift pump or remove tank and check pickup......
I don't have the specs on your dash gauge. You would want to run an OHMmeter to test resistence at the dash gauge, then check the Ohms at the wiring from the fuel sending unit. The change in the Ohms from the fuel tank is what moves the dash gauge.
Best I can help with is a chassis diagram at Autozone.com, FREE, when you register your car.
You can go to a Salvage yard with an Ohmmeter and test a fuel gauge on-the-car to see if it has different resistance. This would indicate whether your gauge is good or not.
You just have a ground problem between the frame and tank ground. It has to be connected to a clean tab on the tank at the fuel sending unit. Check and clean them, both tanks. It gets confused and don't know what to do without a complete circuit.
Is much is actually in the tank when the gauge reads 1/4? They usually don't fail high like that, but it's not fun calibrating a new fuel pump's level sensor in a warm garage. Luckily...it's Fall.
The float sending unit is messed up and don't know now much gas is in the tank. The float may be stuck in a higher position showing more gas, in reality the gas level is way below. Try using a rubber mallet and tap on the gas tank near the fuel pump. It may help free up the float.
Hi, this is a sending unit issue. you can try adding some Sea Foam additive to the tank. this may release the sender. if the additive doesn't work, replace the fuel level sending unit.
had same problem with 00 dodge neon between half and quarter tank going up steep hills it would lose power and stumble,at quarter it would start to stumble and stall.fuel filter was completly blocked after changing fuel filter it would not stall,when gas tank was low fuel pressure would go down,changed fuel pump and it did it
