My 2001 has the same problem. I have not been very successful in figuring out why this is happening. It will be at full all the time unless maybe i sit at a light for a min and then it will go to completely empty and the low fuel light will come on.

The sending unit in the tank has gone bad. We just watch our odometer and refuel every 250 miles.

so im looking at having to pull the gas tank off?

[big dave]

Yes, unfortunately they stuck it from top down. I don't think it would be that bad a job if you only have a gallon or two of gas in the tank. Not sure how much the sending unit is though.

It's an easy fix - it works the same on Grand Prix's and Bonnevilles -

You don't have to pull the tank - there's an access panel that you can get into from the top, and the part is less than $50 bucks. The instructions tell you to take the new part into pieces, and stick it on the existing one, but I just used the entire plug-in assembly and it worked great.


Doing it for the Aztec is likely the same fix:
