Is it normal for the fuel gage to stay on when the engine is switch off?
It is normal for many vehicles for the fuel gauge to stay on when the engine is switched off. This helps a driver to know how much gas they have remaining without turning the car on.
What could cause the fuel gauge on a 1996 GMC K1500 to always stay on empty?
Bad gauge Bad float in tank
Why does my 2001 s10 gas hand stay on empty when theres gas in it?
The fuel gauge sending unit in the fuel tank is probably the problem.
Your 1994 Toyota Camry won't stay running It runs for a while then shuts down you have already replaced Distributor plugs wires map sensor and coolant temp sensor What could it be?
Did you check the fuel pressure? You may be running out of fuel. There is enough pressure in the fuel line when you have the key on, and the pump is pumping but as you use up the fuel in the line the fuel pump can't keep up and you lose pressure and the fuel shuts off. Get a fuel pressure gauge and hook it inline on the fuel rail and see what pressure you have with just the key on, and then start and run the engine and watch the gauge. If the gauge drops, your fuel pump is likely on it's way out.
Why does the check engine gauge on 99 Ford Concord stay on?
This information can be found in the owner's manual
Should a 91 Toyota Corolla always have fuel pressure?
If engine is running then the answer is yes. And pressure will stay in the fuel line for some time after you shut the engine.
Why does your fuel gauge stay on full even it is not in your 2002 Chevy suburban?
It's likely the float sensor in the gas tank is malfunctioning. It might be part of the fuel pump assembly.
Why does your 1999 f250diesel fuel gauge stay on full?
The most likely reason is the sender wire (that runs from the sender unit in the fuel tank) is earthing some where along its route.
1985 cutlass supreme runs but won't stay started whats the problem?
It takes 3 things for an engine to run. Fuel/Air/Spark. Which one of these are you missing? You say it runs but won't stay started. Do you mean it starts, runs, and then stalls. If so, I would suspect a fuel delivery problem. Clogged fuel filter, or defective fuel pump or fuel pump relay would be suspect.
Does the fuel pump on a 1991 jeep wrangler 2.5 liter stay on while its running?
Yes, that's how fuel is delivered to the engine.
Replaced fuel filter and checked fuel pump. Car fires up but won't stay on. Shot some gas into the throttle assembly and it runs longer. Can it be the egr. Like injectors not working. Is it a sensor?
Connect a fuel pressure gauge. There should be a test port somewhere near the injectors. Watch the fuel pressure. If it drops just as the engine dies, you probably have a problem with the circuit that keeps the fuel pump running. When you are starting the engine the fuel pump turns on for a few seconds. After the engine is running the fuel pump is allowed to stay on. It depends on how the manufacturer implemented the circuit, it could be a relay, fuse, loose connection or who knows what. Have you fitted the new filter the correct way The direction of flow should be marked on a new filter.
Temp gauge drops while driving 02 trailblazer?
If it drops to zero it is the stepper motor in the cluster. If it drops down several degrees then it is the thermostat and will eventually make the check engine light stay on. you will experience poor fuel economy due to the computer loading the engine up with fuel thinking you are in warm-up mode.
