Thanks KingKurt,
I have done the same thing on the "My Ford" site and it don't say too much about the car. I have also done a late model festiva and it shows more info than the EF.

Have you had a problem with CV joints?

KingKurt · 04-15-2003, 16:48

Who, me, or anyone?

I don't know if I have or not. Im getting my suspenstion, wheels, etc. all checked out soon. I have the front end noise that could be C/V related, but would it make any difference with my eratic fuel guage?

probably not, but everytime I hear a sound that sounds like you're cracking your knuckles I know that's my CV joints. I wonder how much they?

I had to take my dash apart one day - where the gauge panel is...I needed to replace the bulbs as I had no light. Well I forgot to plug the wire back into the gauge for the fuel. Maybe you have a loose connection there...Just an idea. Better to check anything thats easy and free before you have to go out and pay someone.

If you a racing fuel pump that would be a big with the gauge.

Nope... its really weird too. Sometimes it'll report as being too full, and then once it goes past 1/2, it'll start saying it's empty when it's not, but doesn't always do it.
