Have a mk2 Nova GSi and the Fuel Level is always showing empty even when full.. how do i repair this?

Answer 1

Sounds like a faulty sensor in your fuel tank - I'd start with a) the Haynes manual, and b) an owner's forum, if you can find one.

Answer 2

There is a sensor on top of the fuel tank, make sure the wires to it are in good condition and hooked up at both ends. If they are and show continuity, then the tank sensor is probably bad.

Answer 3

it ought to me distinct issues, placing out with the drift on the gas sensor, or possibly the sensor itself, or it will be that, by way of age of the vehicle, you've a foul electric powered connection someplace. If this is both the drift or the sensor, they are going to probably ought to take the gas tank out to fix it. a difficult wager in case you're taking it to a mechanic to get repaired, ought to fee someplace round $four hundred.

Answer 4

If you can, dab the live feed to your tank sensor to earth (with the ignition on). If the gauge shoots over to full, the gauge is fine. Needs two to do.

If the gauge is fine, it's either duff wiring or a defective tank sensor.

Answer 5

You need a new fuel level sender. This is found bolted to the side of the tank somewhere.

Answer 6

Replace the fuel sender in the tank.

It will have a broken wire in it.
