When i'm driving my truck down the road all at once the fuel gauge reads all the way full or on empty. Do you have any answers? One other thing the driver info center always tells me AWD not working but it always works.
The gauge doesn't only do it going down the road, It will do it sitting still. The gauge doesn't only do it going down the road, It will do it sitting still.
I just purchased a 2002 Pontiac Aztek and my fuel gauge only reads full or empty. While on level ground in park or any other time. I have never been able to get an accurate reading. I have been told that it is the fuel gauge level sensor that is located on the fuel pump assembly. Is this accurate?I just purchased a 2002 Pontiac Aztek and my fuel gauge only reads full or empty.

My 95 supercharged bonnivlle's driver information center won't work all the time along with the compass and gas gauge. The other gauges work fine. The others work sometimes but not always.My 95 supercharged bonnivlle's driver information center won't work all the time along with the compass and gas gauge. The other gauges work fine.

Mostly likely you have a tank mounted fuel gauge. If your vehicle is pointing down hill the guage goes up or down. It is usually the fuel level in the tank that makes the float go up to tell you how full the tank is, if fuel is sloshing around then level fluctuates. I would say that if it stabilizes on level ground and at a stop, and you can get a stable fuel reading then this is more of an annoyance than a problem. If you can get an accurate reading and you do not run out of fuel you may want to leave this one alone, you will have to drop the fuel tank and replace the fuel float on top of the gas tank which can be labor intensive as well as expensive.
If it has a OBD (ON Board Diagnostics) you may want to have it checked, sometimes fuel management problems will produce codes without the check engine light. I doubt it show for it is mostly exhaust or the actual expended fuel that is measured. Maybe worth a shot. You either have a bad guage, float or a short between the two. Sorry it cant be more simple solution.If it has a OBD (ON Board Diagnostics) you may want to have it checked, sometimes fuel management problems will produce codes without the check engine light.

You have a bad ground, you will have to remove the fuel tank and check the connectons on top of the tank, probably corroded. You can clean the terminals or change them.
I have the same vehicle and my car actually was full of gas, registered empty & left me on the side of the road..It was the sensor in the fuel line that had to be replaced.
Wandering fuel guages are associated with a bad fuel pump/sending unit in the tank. Probably one of the reasons it was for sale. will be about $200 for unit and $100 to change. Check your warranty for coverage. Good luck
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.
check for fuel pressure and volume test, if good then I would not change the pump, but look as far as the ESC (electronic Spark Control) located below the coils. good luck!
Youre gauge is controlled by a plunger in the fuel tank which is attached to the sensor and the fuel gauge. it sounds like when the plunger goes down half way its either getting stuck down lower then it should. Needs replacing. Any mechanic can do this install for you.
check the grounds on your fuel tank sending unit,must drop the tank to do this. with the tank down,remove the ground and look at your fuel gauge it should read full or empty,if it does not it may be a sending unit
The gauge doesn't only do it going down the road, It will do it sitting still.
