Replying to: tommer (Nov 11, 2008 8:18 pm) If all the other gauges are working, one would have to suspect that the sending unit at the gas tank is in distress. It' might be as simple as a loose wire grounding out but you'll have to check it out and have it tested. It's not likely for just one gauge to fail on a modern car.   Visiting Host Replies to this message: tommer (Nov 12, 2008 10:48 am)

Well first they said it was a ground wire fixed it 100.00,worked for a day then the same thing filled the tank, guage is pointing straight down. so they said it has to be the sending unit, new one, two hundred twenty six dollars we went to St. Louis this wked filled up last night this morning straight down. so I guess I'm out the 226.00 and the guage still is'nt working. So I've spent 326.00 still no answer to the problem. Replies to this message: imidazol97 (Nov 24, 2008 5:31 am)

Guessing by mechanics who don't have the proper tools is often expensive.   Taking it the dealer or a mechanic with proper equipment may incur a diagnosis fee, but in the end it's cheaper. I.E., a dealer would have used a Tech II and found if the proper signals were sent from the tank.

I take it to a mechanic. These guys have been in business for a long time, I do trust them.They told me they diagnotic equipment. I haven't had any car troubles in years. We had a CTS it was a great car, sucked on snow and ice, so we get a Envoy, loved this truck, wife totaled it in may . So we get this Buick, if we could find another Envoy I might trade it.

I called the mechanic to double check what we have talked about. He said he uses the same diagontic equipment as GM, he has reset the gas guage twice tested it,new ground wire,now a new sending unit. So it goes back again tues. I'll get back to ya. Replies to this message: tommer (Dec 09, 2008 3:58 pm)
