noe619 Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Since i installed the mechman 270a alt and 3 batts at my Frontier the fuel gauge is going nuts! sometimes when i look at my fuel gauge its at the middle and then sometimes its at the red mark (near empty) can someone tell me whats the problem? help? lets see... hmmm.... yes.... wait.... maybe.... no.... ???,,, I GOT IT... not enough info when its at half empty is it right after you leave the gas station? when it at empty is it as you get to the gas station a few days later? how many mpg are you getting? is it randomly changing through out the day? like say your driving down the road and go a mile and its and half full then go another mile and its at empty? if you answered yes to the first 2 questions its called using gas. in order for the car to run it burns gas in which long story short makes the car move from point a to point b. if you didnt answer yes to the first 2 but yes to the other questions and you have figure out your mpg to be within normal range then the gauge isnt working correctly. call your local junk yard for parts or see if you can get them new. Sorry for the lack of info ok so i went to a gas station and had my tank 1/4 full and the fuel gauge was also 1/4 then i drove to my house it was only like 5meters away from the station and then the next day i saw my fuel gauge near the red line (almost empty) the keys are on the ON sign and then i turned on the engine the fuel gauge went to 1/2 mark and then i was just idling and testing my audio stuff for like 10 mins and then the next 4 hrs. it went back to the 1/4 mark. this just happens almost everytime. 5 meters away from the station? I don't think you would be able drive out the gas station within 5 meters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy fix haha no way man its my first car. that sux that it went crazy on you though, ive had cars that did that to me and didnt bother me at all. until i ran out of gas one day. Then i sold the dam car and bought one with a working fuel gauge. I have a 95 Civic that does that to me know. if im driving straight and normal it marks good, But if i take a left or a right turn it goes down by half a tank. Its weird like that on Hondas, i had another civic that did the same thing. iamGcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its weird like that on Hondas, i had another civic that did the same thing. yeah it sucks man. i'm also scared to run out of fuel one day in the middle of the road. I had to calculate in my head on how much kilometers left with the amount of gas i put inside the tank Nissan Frontier 10" Cadence Midbass 8" Cadnece Midrange Bullet tweets 2 Re audio Sxx 15 Subs Mechman 270a 2 Re XT4000deV3 mono 1600 rms 1 Re XT400deV3 Bridged 350x2 2 Cadence 175.4 Bridged 350x2 Audiomaxx and Stinger 0,4,8,12 awg wires Dynamat sound deadeners My Build Log: http://www.stevemead...__+1999 +nissan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
