Fuel Gauge

[05bluestang]

Guys, my gas gauge has been acting stupid, it's always pegged to the right and only works every once in a while. Any fixes other then pulling the pump / sending unit and replacing the sending unit?

The relay maybe?
I had the sending unit replaced last year

Yea, thats what I'm afraid of (I got the GT500 pumps). I know it's not the relay because the pump is working fine.

have you tried disconnecting the battery for 30 min and letting the comp reset?

No, I got the SCT and will reload the tune, maybe that will fix it this time. It didn't last time.

Same thing just happened to me, I was hoping someone would have a ideas or offer some insight. I know if I go to FORD they'll have me replacing the fuel tank, fuel lines, fuel rails, etc, etc, etc. $$$

Yea, I did some research, apparently this is a common issue with the GT500 pumps, the sending unit crapps out. I have to get a new one when I have time, it's only ~$135.00, putting it in will be a pain in the azz.................
