I have had a problem with my fuel gage since I bought the car, it would give a good reading then go to all the way full and put the low fuel light on. It was a naging problem, that I thought that would be cured by installing a new fuel sending unit in it, and it did, for a little while. Now it just gives me an inconsistant reading, all the time. Is it common to have a bad spot in the harness in one area, or could it actually be in the gage cluster. Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance

I'll have to give that a shot, is it back in the dash or connected to to the gage cluster it self?

I have a problem where the tank is empty when the gauge reads 1/8th of a tank. How do I fix this?

that problem might be that the float on the sending unit is bent or the sending unit is toast. good luck

i have not played with an anti-slosh module, but i have read in here that it is behind the gauge. it just kind of regulates the sender info, so as you slosh the fuel around, you gauge does not dance a lot (like the voltage regulator on the other gauges does). but since all the sender juice goes through it, that seems to be a likely place to check.
good luck.
