Either bad gauge (unlikely) or bad sending unit (probably). Either way you're going to have to pull the gas tank to diagnose the problem. Either that or top it off every 200 miles and forget about it.

What causes the transmission in a 1993 Pontiac Bonneville to feel like it is not engaged during a quick takeoff from dead stop?

I had this problem with my 1994 Bonneville SE. would try checking the transmission fluid level(that was the problem with mine). If the transmission fluid level is where it's supposed to be then it could be that the transmission is going out or you may need to check the torque converter. I think that can also cause the problem.

What would cause a fuel pump and gauge to stop working simultaneously on a 2001 Pontiac Montana?

on the fuel pump is a little floater, inside the pump is an electronic sensor which reads your fuel level, meaning that if your fuel pump goes out due to bad wiring, or just gets worn out, your fuel gauge will go with it, but no worries, once you put a new one in, and put on the new wiring harness your problems should be solved. hope this helped :)


How much petrol is in the fuel tank if the fuel gauge is not working properly?
