The float sticks in the gas tank, most common problem.

Disconnect the sender from fuel tank, and touch the connector on the end of the wire to a metal surface (car frame will do), with the keyswitch in the "on" position. If the wiring is intact and the gauge is working, it'll peg to "full". Not sure on that model, you might have to lower the tank to access the sender. If so, it'll mean disassembling the fuel filler door so you can pull the fuel filler pipe clear of the tank. Recommend you do this with half a tank or less on board. Tip: use your tire changing jack under the tank to lower it gently. another tip: those screws that don't fit any of your screwdrivers or allen wrenches require "torx" drivers. Probably won't help with the "jerkiness", but at least you'll know how much fuel you have.

The fuel sending system starts at the fuel level sensor located in the fuel tank,that sensor (or) float is electrically connected to the body control module which intern is connected to the fuel pump which depending on the year of the vehicle,is most likely also in the fuel tank.fuel then travels through the fuel line,through the filter ,then to the throttle body intake or carburator (again depending on year)your fuel gauge takes it's reading from the body control module which again gets it's reading from the fuel level sensor.also the instrument cluster may have issues which would reqire cluster exchange as they are not repaired by the dealer.

2 error types: one is that the gauge itself is stuck at a certain reading and never changes. The other is that the fuel sender in the tank has become compromised in such a way that resistance in the potentiometer has changed. This will result in an inaccurate reading or no reading at all.

Inaccurate readings due to sensor problems, open or shorted connections giving a false full or empty reading, and wavering readings influenced by starts, stops, and hills, caused by a bad circuit in the dashboard.

the gage, the wire, most likely it's the sending unit. the sensor that tells the Gage what to say.
