Lately my gas gauge starts showing 0 or below when I shift from N to either D or R. Than a once a car gets going it climbs back up to actual position. Anyone knows what might be causing this ?

Does the fuel gauge work properly when in PARK, ignition to run. Engine not started?

Yes. This happens only when car is shifted in N and out. Gauge stays stable in all other positions.

Sounds like something is affecting either the ground or signal to the fuel gauge. It does not sound like a fuel level sensor and float problem which provides the signal to the gauge but you never know. Have you ever done any work around the Instrument Panel (IP)?
