97' Sonoma Fuel Pump/Gas Reading

Sonoma97 · #1 10-20-2006, 06:22 PM

I was having problems with my fuel pump. And my gas gauge would always read full. So I replaced my fuel pump, and everything was working fine. Gas Gauge was reading properly, but than the gas gauge stop reading... It just stays at empty. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks.

Welcome to AF, recheck the connectors at the tank for corrosion or looseness first.

1.) You have a bad sender. Did you replace the pump or the sending unit?

2.) You have a bad ignition switch. 1997 is the bad year for the bad ignition switch and can cause the problem you are seeing along with stalling, and tranny shifting problems.

Replaced the whole fuel pump...

Didn't think about the ignition switch, gonna have to try it. Will say whether it worked or not.

Thanks
