 Intermittent Erratic Fuel gauge 01 Ranger
Hi
New member here; I have been lurking a while at multiple Ranger boards and this one seems to be the most knowlegable!
I have 2001 Ranger 3.0l V6 2WD with 117K miles; just bought it about a month ago. I had a problem where the gas gauge would max out past F and stay there. Brought it to a shop; they replaced the fuel sender. Worked OK for about a week, and then the needle maxed past F again. Only this time, when I stopped then restarted the truck, it reset itself back to where it should have been. Took it back to the shop (gauge working fine); they couldn't get it to be erratic and said they couldn't do much if it was working.
So now, every so often, like every 3 or so days, it maxes out again; then resets when next started. It tends to happen after about 10 mins of city driving, regardless of weather (we have ranged from low 40's to 70 the past few weeks). When I turn off the truck, the needle stays maxxed out past F. Resets when restarted, seems to work fine for a while. Other than that, the truck runs just fine.
Very confusing to me! I've searched the board here and didn't come up with anything similar, so any ideas would be much appreciated! |
