Hi folks -

new to the group - looks like lots of good discussion in here. I have
an issue you might be able to help with ....

I have a 93 Corolla - about 170k on it, all told. I recently bought a
new cluster (well, new to me - it was actually used), cause my speedo
had stopped working. Cluster looked great, had it installed, and the
speedo issue seems to be OK. But ....

The gas gauge is not working as before. The needle moves very little
at first (I put in 7 gallons once, and the needle had been almost at
the 3/4 full mark). I am currently almost done with a tank, and the
needle is lower (between 1/8 and 1/4, and I think I have about 2
gallons left), so it seems to catch up with itself later on in the
tank.

The cluster, when I got it, said that it was for a 93-95 Corolla. So,
I am thinking that this gauge issue COULD be a coincidence (though I
doubt it), or it could be that the cluster I have might have been from
a 94 or 95, and my fuel tank sensor is sending a signal that it not
being read correctly. Just a guess on my part.

Anyone have any insights into this? I have been using the trip
odometer since I found this out, and that is a good way to avoid
getting stuck - but it still bugs the heck out of me. I would like to
get this fixed, if it is not too expensive ....

thanks !
