Strange fuel gauge behavior
Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem. This morning I was driving back from PA and I noticed some funny behavior from my fuel gauge. I just filled up 2 days ago and the reading was over full by just a little bit. I was going about 75 driving the whole time and I looked down and was just 3 notches till ¾ tank a minute later it was down to 1 notch from ¾ then about 3 mins later it was back up to 3 notches. I thought this happened last weekend to but I thought I was crazy but now that I paid attention it did actually happen. Any idea what could be causing this? Sounds like the senders on the fuel pump messing up? Im using 93 octane from kwik fill, map 1 JB4.

My fuel gauge will move up/down depending on my driving conditions. My car is bone stock.
Was your drive 75 mph uninterrupted or were there "blips" in your driving?

You said it in your last sentence....JB4. Disable the AFR/Boost guage feature. Piggies have the capability to hijack your fuel and oil guage to have them display other information (most people use AFR on oil and Boost on fuel).
