Fuel gauge always showing a quarter tank on a 70 Monte Carlo?

Sounds like the sending unit in the tank is stuck. It works kind of like the float in your toilet. There is a piece that floats on the top of the fuel and it is attached to a rod that goes to your sending unit. The higher the float, the more gas is shown on the gauge due to the position signal the sending unit is sending out to the fuel gauge. If it is stuck, it probably is best to have it replaced.


Why do the rpm rev up when driving but you are acceletrating any higher?

The RPM rev up when driving because of the way your car's transmission works. Essentially, the transmission is responsible for sending power from the engine to the wheels. The transmission's job is to change the RPMs that the engine is sending, so that the wheels can turn at the correct speed. When you accelerate, the transmission increases the RPMs that the engine is sending to the wheels to provide more power. The faster you accelerate, the more the RPMs will increase. This is why you hear the RPM rev up when you are accelerating.

What will a bad tps cause a 96 dodge ram with a 360 gas engine to run like?

My guess is it will causes the engine to surge and change engine speed up and down over and over because the ECU (computer) is searching for the right idle speed, but the bad sensor isn't sending the signal. It could also possibly cause the engine to just idle at a higher speed than normal.


What is the purpose of oil sending unit?

Oil sending unit is really a misnomer. Although "it" is a unit, "it" does not send oil anywhere. What "IT" really is, is a pressure transducer. A pressure transducer is a device that "reads" or senses the hydraulic pressure of your engine's oil. That changes "it's" internal electrical resistance in proportion to that pressure. Let's say, the higher the pressure, the lower the resistance.

Your 5.3 shows low oil pressure at cold start up and gets higher as the engine warms?

You first need to remove the oil sending unit from engine and put a oil gauge in its place, so you can check oil pressure corectley. This way you can rule out the sending unit as being the problem. ----------------------------------------------------- In my case, it was bad oil filter. before ever thinking to change the oil pump, sensor or gauge, change your oil and filter, best to make it 'flushed' (2 oil change).
