Fuel Gauge

[Sil80GRL]

Picked up an 86 JDM Levin this arvo and the fuel gauge isn't working...
does anyone know if this is a common problem and how hard is it to fix???

Instructions on how to fix it wouldn't go astray either... http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/tongue.gif:P

Your help is much appreciated!!!

Might be a loose connection or something???

How hard is it to grab workshop manuals in english....if anyone knows???!!

yeah check the wires to the fuel sender

my wires on the fuel sender broke at very close to the black plastic cover = wire left from the fuel sender cover is very very short that I cannot reconnect it back to the other end of wires. any trick can help reconnect them?

Mine didn't work either Carley. Take it to an Auto electrician.
They fixed mine.

How much did they hit you up for that?

my new one doesn't work most of the time. sometimes it does
the fuel light definitely works though

Is your fuel lights always on? Mine is? My gauge rarly goes over half way. It never reads properly. Would mine be the same deal? Check the wiring?

Im not liking the fact that there's so many instances of fuel guage problems with this type of car... toyota must have been running low on budget http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/tongue.gif hehe
