If it moves when you start up, then the float in the tank is probably stuck or the wire back there is shorted. If it is planted in place and never moves, then the problem is likely in the gauge. |

I suspected a gauge problem but now agree that it could also be a stuck float problem. -- NEWSGROUP SUBSCRIPERS MOTTO We respect those subscribers that ask for advice or provide advice.

Mine acts up from time to time, I just am careful to know exactly how much gas I have in the car and the mileage the car usually gets.
