z34mightymachine Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 On my Z34 if the gas is at a 1/2 a tank and I turn left or I apply breaks when I need to stop the fuel gauge will go down to the E and then it will go back to were it left off. Can someone let me know if this can be fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoomZoomFan Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 One time my g/f's '92 Grand Am's gas gauge went from full to empty as she slammed on the brakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z34mightymachine Posted July 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Its really annoying after a while. But its kind of Funny Has anyone figured out what it could be or has anyone fixed this issue before ? My dads 1985 Buick Lesabre collectors edition used to do the same thing. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regal_GS_1989 Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 My Cutlass did that, and my 94 silverado is horrible for it as well. My 89 never does it cause of the digital gauge, and my 2000 seems to be pretty steady. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White93z34 Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 My Cutlass Ciera did that, my Camaro Does that, my Lumina z34 does that. pretty much anything pre 96' GM will do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990lumina Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 My Lumina gauge is accurate to half a tank..then it bounces...and once it stops bouncing and is firmly planted in empty erritory you better fill up quick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5speedz34 Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 You could try some good fuel injector cleaner it might help, otherwise its pretty much a common problem. Aside from replacing the fuel sender chances are nothing is going to change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
