fuel gauge problems

[mr2trd]

does anyone know how to fix a stubborn fuel gauge? it's not working, stuck in the halfway mark. the needle never moves. i noticed it when driving back 70 mi. with the fuel needle not moving at all. thanks.

this site is trash. nobody here knows anything about toyotas. nobody could even answer this question about a little gauge that monitors fuel. sorry half @$$ toyota mechanic wanabes. if you wanna talk, make an appointment.

bashing the entire site because the FIRST AND ONLY POST u've made isn't answered??......

theres vast amounts of information that is shared here and most everyone else would agree with myself how valuable the site has been to others....

and to answer ur question....its most likely the fuel sender unit that is faulty...i've never experienced this problem so i've never had to personally look into it.....

yes...finally, somebody answers. thanks to mrQturbo...i knew dissing the sheebang would get some attention. obviously he would answer because he's always on...running the whole crack house. wells, that's what i heard from my auto tech teacher, that it's probably the fuel sending unit. but also, the car was bought with some aftermarket gauges, white faced. could it also be that the problem is behind the dash? damn...if it is, shoo..everyone knows that crap loads of wires are hangin back there. don't wanna screw around with that shyte.

if the car did came with gauge faces thats likely to be the problem its probably not lettin the needle move its probably touchin somewhere. i have gauge faces and i have the same prob with my turbo needle but i dont give a crap cuz Stock turbo guage sucks balls

I've been an engineer for 25 years AND I'm a damned good Toyota mechanic.

BUT, with your crap attitude, that of an asinine little boy, I'm not going to tell you what's wrong with it.

Straighten up children.
