Question
I own a 1988 chevy cavalier with over 200k on it but just resently my feul gage is like stuck and i ave ran out of feul becuz of this lol...Question.is this a hard fix could it be something as simple as a blown gage fuse our is it related to inside my feul tank,thank u for ur time in this matter.mark

Answer
Hi Mark... if all other gauges are working then chances are the problem is the wiring at the tank or the sending unit in the tank.if gauge is stuck past full check the ground, if on empty check for a break in the power wire to the gauge, if thats ok then check the sending unit itself in the tank... hope this helps
