What was the fuel gauge on my Chevy Blazer?

What was the fuel gauge on my Chevy Blazer?

Stopped at a light about 1 1/2 miles from church. When green, gave it normal gas. Very poor acceleration. Fuel gauge reads just under 1/4 tank. I then let off the accelerator and then pressed it ever so slightly. I did accelerate, but obviously not very fast. About 30 seconds or so later, we were fine.

Exhaust?

Why does my Chevy Blazer not go over 20 mph?

Won’t go over 20 mph. Starts right up. New plugs and wires. Never really cuts off. Runs hot but not extremely. Mass air flow is usually an intermitant problem. This sounds more like a stopped up catylist converter. take the cat off and run it, see if it gets hot, most likely that will be the problem]

Why does my Chevy Blazer have a yellow warning light?

A night before i set on a journey from Switzerland to Germany my car show yellow warning light which warn about fuel, power etc the symbol look like a videocamera diagram.

Why is my Chevy Blazer not getting gas?

Pressing the gas pedal does not give it more fuel. Taking the throttle body sensor off makes no difference either. Took it to a mechanic for a “professional” diagnosis – they told me it was the fuel injection system. Put a new one on this weekend, still no dice. Can’t move the truck as it won’t get gas.

Why is my fuel gauge not working properly?

Fuel gauge troubleshooting begins with isolating the problem either to the gauge, sending unit, fuse or wiring. The most common gauge problems are either a bad ground at the tank, or a sender problem.

How big is the gas tank on a 97 Blazer?

Well we are back to the 97 Blazer with more fuel gauge issues. The issue is the gauge isn’t reading accurately once it gets down to 8 or 9 gallons of gas in the tank. The tank is a 19 gallon and it is in the very back because it’s a 2-door model.

What causes a bad gas gauge on a Chevy truck?

A poor ground or loose connection to a gas gauge is just as likely to cause problems as loose or dirty battery cables assuredly will with your starting system.

Why does my gas gauge read high when the tank is full?

A functioning sending unit will have a high resistance when the tank is full and a low resistance when the tank is empty. If the gauge reads higher than it should, make sure the wire attached to the electrical terminal on the tank sending unit is making a good ground connection.

What should I do if my gas gauge is not working?

If necessary, clean the connection and reinstall the wire to the terminal, then check the gauge operation. If that didn’t fix the problem, use a jumper wire to ground the electrical terminal on the tank sending unit to the tank unit housing (leave the wire to the gauge connected to the tank unit).
