hey guys, ive got a 94 eg civic. Recently the fuel gauge shows that its full but i know its not. it would drop back to what it should be for a bit, and then go back to full. Its been doing this for 2 days now, is it just a sensor problem? or something else?

this happens to my EG too, apparently, i asked my private honda specialist mechanic and he says, Honda EG's weakspots are at the fuel pump and master brakes. Myabe its your fuel pump, get it checked, maybe you need to change it. Mine is stuffing up too, it always go up and down every now and then, and i know it gets u worried. Lols.

Just try to check ur fuel pump 1st, usually thats the problem

a fuel pump isnt gonna affect what the guage is reading

i'll do that when its cooled down outside.

if it is the sender, would that be an easy fix?

would it cost much to replace?
