Just had a new fuel pump installed in 2002 Chevy Malibu. Worked great for about a week and then the fuel gauge started reading "empty" when the car has a full tank of gas. What happened?

The cluster then needs to be removed and taken to any Chevy Dealer to have the gauge serviced

This is caused by a defective fuel level sending unit inside the fuel tank. To repair the problem you must remove the fuel tank from the car and replace the fuel pump module which is part of the fuel level sensor.

Need to replace the sensor inside the gas tank. I have a 2008 Malibu with the same problem. It was a faulty fuel gauge sensor.

Had a 1/4 tank of gas in car but low fuel light stays on, put 5 more gallons of gas in the car and light will not go off, gas hand will not move and car will not crank 2001 Chevy Malibu

check the connection for the fuel pump at the right rear wheel just above the control arm. the connection gets corroded and causes the fuel pump and gauge not to work. if the plug looks good then most likely the fuel fump assembly is bad.

My 2008 chevy malibu fuel gauge dose not read only some times when its a full tank the gauge is dead but about 1/4 tank it reads but gos in and out ?

this is caused by a defective gas gage sending unit, the sending unit is part of the fuel pump module inside the gas tank, the gas tank must be removed to replace the fuel pump module that also contains the sending unit.

The gas gauge isn't working correctly. When I fill up it does'nt go all the way up then it works eradically up and down. Unstable 1997 chevy malibu ls 3.1.

The problem is with your car's fuel level sensor which is located inside the gas tank and attached to the fuel pump, open the fuel pump and try cleaning the fuel level sensor parts it should be fine. Hope it helps and please don't forget to rate the answer it helps me, thanks!
