Hi I have a 1992 Grand Am, just bought it, I filled the tank and it and the gage only went a little past the 1/2 mark. What should I look for in finding the problem.
Thanks much Bob

fuel sender unit in the tank?
I'll solve it this way, When I get on empty wich would be 1/2 tank left I'll fill it up again. Never run out that way.

I'm not the greatest at searching, but if you know your way around the internet, you might be able to find some info about it. I know I am not being much help, but it seems to be a pretty common problem on these styles of Grand Ams. Mine hasn't done it yet, thankfully. The gas door gives me trouble every once in a while, which is also very common.

Robert, Why don't you just forget the fuel gauge, it's trashed. Is your trip meter still operational? Utilize the trip meter as a fuel gauge.

Yes. You are correct. I should have been more specific. The carbon strips wear out.
sending unit for my car was $347.93 list price, my cost was $243.55 ( at a Chevy dealer where a buddy works ).
