Fuel Gauge Problems 94 Nissan Pathfinder
Yesterday, I took my car to a mechanic to fix my car because it was not starting. At first they told me I needed a new starter, however, I had replaced the starter myself only 3 months ago. They took the starter out for me and I had it bench tested at Advanced Auto Parts, and of course the starter was fine. After telling them this they then decided it was my starter relay, a $30 part, and the car then started.
But, when I picked up my car the fuel gauge no longer worked, and it did work before I brought it into the shop. I took it back to them immediately and they told me it was something internal in the tank and that the tank would need to be taken off so that they could fix it, this as you know can be a pricey job. I decided not to have the problem fixed there.
Today when I drove my car, with a full tank, I noticed a few moments after I turned it on the gas gauge goes to about ¾ the way up and then a few minutes afterwards drops slowly to below empty. Does anyone have any ideas about what is going on?
