Re: Fluctuating gas gage

I have performed this job on a few cars. The fuel pump can be replaced solely. The assembly is expensive so you have to weigh the possibilities.

It is my opinion that if my car (currently have a 99 PA) had that issue, I'd replace the whole assembly. It is a costly part. But so is replacing only the sending unit and finding out a week later that the pump decided to crap too. Since it is usually my own labor, I can deal with it. But if you are paying a repair shop, it can get even more expensive than the sending unit alone in the long run.

This is a decision you have to make on your financial situation, condition of the vehicle, whether it's worth it or not. Money always plays a factor. So, if your a DIY-er, you can try just the sending unit.
