Help bad fuel guage???
Yesterday I noticed that after I filled up with gas that my gas gauge was reading that I was on "E". My DIC even indicated that I was on reserved fuel and then after.. I was low on fuel. I was on a cruise so a friend of mine disconnected the positive connector and that solved the problem for a few minutes... only to have the problem repeat it self. Does anyone know of a fix for this or do I have to take it to the dealer???

If you have Chevron gas in your area use it. Techron wrks well and so does BG44K. Wal-Mart has Techron and you can find 44k at a local dealership. I use 44k once a month and have not had any more issues.

Give that BG44 K a try, it's the best. Good Luck. Save the Wave.>George

Sammy, thats an easy one. Disconnect both Borla exhausts comepletly, open the gas door. Use a 8 oz carpenters hammer and rap the gas cap 6 time hard. Reinstall Borlas, replace cap, close the door, then turn on car and say Holy $!#% it works. Repeat again if not
