I wa slookign for a fuel level gauge since mien seems to be busted and.. I came across these guys...anyone hear anything about them? The seem to have soem solid gauges, most digital. I was looking for a digital one and thought that these would be pretty nice. By the way anyone know which is the sender wire for fuel level on the ECU? haha or shoudl I just route straight form the tank?

Putting a new gauge in will be MUCH harder than getting the stocker to work. Just get a new sender for the tank and be done with it. Using an aftermarket gauge, you'll have to calibrate the sender for the gauge, it might not work with the Mazda sender so you'd need to build a custom one, etc. etc.

I don't think the senders are actually that expensive new either.

The ECU has nothing to do with the fuel level gauge, BTW.

Oh, I was wondeirn gif it was just routed through the ecu wiring harness liek the tach and what not...Its not the sender, its the gauge it self, my last cluster's gauge worked just fine, but i borke that one...anyways....its the cluster's gauge, it feels really stiff if you try to move the needle not like the last one.

 

Pull the gauge from the old cluster and put it in the new one? I agree with Dale that you seem to be underestimating how difficult it could be to setup a custom gauge.

Yeah, swapping gauges out is REALLY easy. I'd just do that and be done with it if you know that's the problem.
