So I adjusted the TPS last ngiht and have since put about 80 miles on it. I noticed the fuel gauge needle has been somewhat inconsistent.

I pulled into work today, the needle hit 1/2 tank at 82 miles. I was so pissed, thinking I screwed the TPS up good, running totaly pig rich. Gas is too damn expensive in South Daktoa (seriosuly, Sundance ~70 miles away is about 20 cents cheaper ) to be wasting it away

So after work I get in and start the car. I drive about half way across town, and look at the gas gauge. right around 11/16th full. I rejoiced. Still not great, but its a hell of alot better than 10mpg or whatever that first reading would have been...

Edit: yeah, forgot to ask the question: why?

 

My upper half readings are almost always off, I can go through the first half in about 75 miles, then the rest will keep me going about 250-300 more, go figure. Damn s5's

 

My upper half is good, then it'll drop to zero all at once...Let's face it, our sender units are getting old

 

yeah my fuel gauge seems to be inconsistent too at times.... i never know what im rolling on so im trying to get a digital fuel gauge thatll tell me what im running on in gallons.

 

^^ aahh... that would require a metering fuel pump wouldn't it? Thats goint to get expensive...

EDIT: what type of gauge do peeps use that are running fuel cells?

 

just get used to resetting the trip odometer every time you fill up, then it's a free fix...
