fuel gauge not working 180sx

[johnbro]

I'm sure there was an old thread on this but nothing came up on a search.

^^^^^^as above
The gauge is stuck on full, it's not a major concern of mine as it's a track car
would be handy knowing how much fuel is in it tho.

same happened me the other day but i was messin around with the fuel pump so think i broke it myself

prob sender unit johnboy could be a sign of a rusty tank aswel id pop out the pump/sender reach into the tank and have a feel around for rust..My old 180 was spluttering and wouldn boost due to this hot powerwashed out the tank then shuck some 804 stone around with petrol emptied out rinsed with more petrol put in a new pump/sender(used from anoter car) perfect after that ..This would be worst case ..

the lad who owned it before me said it was on .9 or even 1bar
there's a walbro 225 in it and I'll have 550cc injectots next week
hoping for more boost after map
car seems a bit laggy and spluttery not to mention smokey possibly due to ecu in it
i've a pfc wanna get the car ready before getting it mapped.

d a put the sender in wrong allowing it not to drop saying its full the whole time

didn't change pump lad it's been like this since I got the car so it's very possible the cowboy who had the car before me may have changed it
