fuel Gauge

[ibanezxguy]

my fuel gauge stays stuck at a full tank all the time or untill i get around empty then it drops a 1//4 of a tank.  Has this happened to anybody else?  And what needs to be replaced?
Thanks

I'm sure it's a early 95? isn't it? (made in early 94)

I had the same problem the second day I bought the car...it happen after I went to do "donut"in a parking lot...

It's really easy to fix.... I was too lazy to do it...until I had to change my fuel pump for a Walbro 255LPH for my SR20DET....


You have to remove the plate over the fuel tank (it's in the trunk, just in the back of the rear right seat) Then you will see that black metal plate with 4 screw, remove them, then make a mark were the plastic lock ring and the fuel unit is align, then remove it....you'll see it's obvious.

The problem is that the fuel sending unit is hanging in the bottom of fuel tank... so wait to have the fuel tank almost empty before you do this, the bent the clip that hold the unit so it will be realy tight, and put it back...

I hope this help!

just be careful not to get the hoses mixed up when you take out your fuel pump
