SOURCE: 92 camaro RS 305 V8 ran very low on fuel. got gas,

hi, your problems sound more like the injectors. Likely the low fuel situation could have caused sediment to get into the injectors and clog them. I believe your engine is the TBI version, not the TPI(tuned port injection) and these injectors commonly will get clogged and the vehicle will run and sound almost like a train, chugging violently. If this is so, see if you can pull the air cleaner off, and get a very bright flashlight, shine it into the throttle bore and watch the fuel flow. One side, or the other, or possibly both may be clogged or not working. You will see the stream will be even and dispersed well if okay, it will be low in volume if not, and may splatter. Do this while the car is running of course. OH, and almost forgot, check/replace the fuel filter first, this may have become clogged as well, it may even be the whole problem. Hope i could help.

My fuel gauge light is on, and my TCS light is on and my anti-lock brake system is on.

The ABS and traction lights are on the same circuit. You have an ABS failure causing these lights to come on. You will need to scan the ABS system for codes and repair the fault in order for the light to stay out. The fuel light is on a different circuit and therefore will be a seperate issue. If the fuel gague reads correctly and the low fuel light is on, suspect an internal problem with the fuel gague assembly inside the gas tank

Poss bad gas,

possibly! if the tanker just filled the underground tanks it mixes up all the debris on the botom of the tanks or it could be water in the gas. if you have a fuel pressure gague then check the fuel pressure alot of gagues have a bleed off hose to get a volume reading if this is something you have then drain about 1/4 to 1/2 of a pop bottle or equivealant into the bottle you will be able to see the water in the botttom of the bottle. either war i would change the fuel filter & clean the throttle body. i hope this helps!

Gas gague not working in 93 gmc sierra

The fuel level gage sending unit is defective, very common problem. The sending unit comes with a new fuel pump and is referred to as a module, also make darn sure you replace the fuel pump connector at the fuel tank, solder and shrink tube the new connector on, DO NOT USE CRIMP CONNECTORS.

Why does the fuel gague in my 1988 Honda accord always read full?

check to see if your fuel gauge is working by disconnecting the fuse from the panel, if gauge reads e then ground the fuel gauge if it reads full then the fuel gauge reads fine the its the float sensor in the fuel tank. good luck have fun

Gas gauge and tach do not read proper readings! What will cause this? The gas guage will peg past full when there is only quarter tank and tach reads 4500 RPM at idle

The gas tank sounds like a bad ground usually located under the car at the gas tank. I do not know but maybe they both tach and fuel gague get their ground from the same place.

My gas gague goes to empty and it makes my engine light come on

Most likely the CEL is because you need a new gas cap. But first make sure it's your 'Check engine Soon' light and not the 'low fuel' indicator.

Full tank-fuel gague registers empty-need fuel light is on

There is a sending unit in the fuel tank that registers how much fuel there is. It is probably broken, giving you a funny reading on your gauge.
