my gas gauge has gone wacky on me. it reads that i only have a quarter tank left and then when i go to fill it up it wont even take half a tank. and then the gauge doesnt even read the tank as being full. it started out as a smaller margin but now it seems to be getting worse. do all 3rd gens suffer from this? or is it something that is going/has gone out in my car. how do i go about fixing it?

yea they all suffer from this. but usually when the tank is full it goes to 12 like on a clock and when it gets liek half down it starts to bounce around. really nothin you can do unless you want to tear down the gas tank

yeah i have a similar problem with my gas gauge in m 85 trans am...once it gets down around half a tank it just dances...and when i fill it it goes passed the full mark...i just keep track of what miliage i filled it and judge by milage when to gas up...good to hear i am not the only one

The sending unit in your tank is probably on it's way out. You should check that your grounding points are all good before replacing anything.
