Lately, my gas guage will read empty when I start the car and take a few minute to actually read what I think is correct. It is really anoying on the last 1/4 of a tank as the idiot light stays on for a few minutes. I hate to take my car in and wanted to know if this is a comon problem. If it's the in tank assembly, should I remove my walbro pump before taking the car in (if they have to replace the whole unit, I dont wnat to loose my walbro pump). Thanks for the advice.

It happend to me in my 03 evo also .. It turned out to be a wire that was not pluged in completely just take it back to hum ever you had the pump installed at and tell them to check it.

 

That would be me (the pump installer). Thanks, I'll check the connections this week-end.

 

when did you replace the pump?
sounds like a sending unit to me but maybe it is the pump.

 

I replaced the pump about a year ago. It seems unlikely the pump change and the guage readings are related. I think a floater is broken and barely floating.

i did not say the pump i said the sending unit which involves the pump, float, and the canister.
