Unstable fuel gauge - XJ
 

Have 'bouncing' unstable fuel gauge in 86 XJ.
When vehicle is not moving all is stable, when moving gauge needle
bounces - all over the place.
Whats the 'problem' - gauge or sending unit?
thanks

Or short, or bad connect, if it bounces towards fuller than it is,
it's grounding. Trace your harness.

I DO have a 'problem' in my firewall disconnect plug ... just about
everything else is bypassed ... so one more wont be a problem. Will
check the grounds first.

Thanx again.
