There is a module in the instrument panel that goes bad. When it does the gauge will move back and forth because the fuel is sloshing in the tank.

SOURCE: fuel gauge stuck on half full

I can tell you almost for certain your fuel level sending unit is bad, I have been able to fix them though. It requires removing the gas tank and then the fuel pump. You can if your inclined, bend the brushes on the small circuit board over more so they will make better contact on to it. Other wise its a new fuel pump assembly, check all plugs and wiring by unpluging and repluging them to insure no bad connect. It is possible it could be the guage itself, but in thirty years of fixing cars never had a bad guage

Common problem, it can be a ground wire (not any ive seen) the float assy can be bought through your local gm dealer instead of buying the whole pump assy.

The fuel sender is built on to the fuel pump. This happens sometimes if you run the tank low alot Try keeping the truck above 1/2 tank see if this helps otherwise you might need a new fuel pump

the fuel pressure if leaking could cause this the regulator is located under the intake plenum but you should smell gas .if you dont then most likely the pump is bad ,the pump will come on for 2 seconds when the key is on then go off it will not stay on with just the key on only when you crank it will it .so have your fuel pressure checked with a gauge.

My 2000 gmc jimmy will not start. It will turn

Have you hooked up a fuel pressure gauge to the test port on the rear of the intake, drivers side. You can get a fuel pressure tester for about 40 dollars at a part store. It is a real good tool to have in your toolbox. If your Jimmy can't build 55 psi, it won't start.
