I will bet that your problem is in the sender itself, unless you have a Tankzilla. The original senders are notorious for causing exactly the symptoms your describe. I suggest you remove the sender check it out before looking for trouble under your dash. The sender is very easy to remove, much easier than dangling upside-down under your dashboard. Turn the car on but don't start it. Have a friend watch your fuel gauge while you are holding the sender. Shake it and turn it upside-down, moving the float up and down the shaft. If the gauge moves, then the problem is not under your dash. - Mike Substelny VIN 01280, 7 years
