Hey Everyone,

I think my fuel indicator maybe stuffed.

I purchased a R34 GTT about a week and half ago, have put in fuel 2-3 times since I have had the car (however had not yet filled tank), and had no problems.

However I filled the tank for the first time yesterday, have just noticed that the the needle has not really moved, maybe very slightly , however I have done around 80km since I filled her up.

Also when I turn off the car the needle stays put (at full basically).

Is there any easy fix for this do you think?

If it is stuffed, do you think it will still warn me when I am getting close to empty?

I have no idea yet, how many Km's I can get out of a tank, so makes it a pain in the backside.

Anyway guys and girls , thank you in advance for any assistance.

Regards,

Cargle.

i dont know if its the same as my r32 but... mine needle always stays where it is supposed to be and when i fill up it take about 50ks before it starts to move down.

Cheers mate, might see how it goes then over the next couple of days.

I thought all cars fuel indicator went to empty until car is started, obviously not then :D

    • I dunno man, that VX S with 200,000 k's is still hanging out for 1.5 I reckon the R34 is the better buy, personally.
    • Dang, doesn't even include on roads.
    • Only in a market where OBD was a thing. The rest of the world was quite happy to let the US EPA only affect US cars for quite a while. The* problem with datalogs is that unless you are very familiar with what every trace should look like, on their own and as an ensemble, you can and will see weird shit that can and will lead you astray, not realising that what you are seeing is the normal consequence of various transient inputs. *Really, "a" problem, as there are of course many other problems too. Look, these cars are so bloody simple that if it is missing or stumbling, the obvious thing is to break out the old mental diagnostic list and just go do all the things that you know you should. After proving that the plugs are clean and sound, ditto the coil stalks, coils, loom connectors, etc, and then making sure that there is fuel pressure at about the right numbers (while driving!, not while sitting in the garage free blipping it), then maybe you go looking at AFM voltages, manually testing the igniter, putting a scope on the CAS, etc. Then you're into pulling the injectors for a spray pattern look-see and perhaps a clean, squirting carby cleaner around the inlet manifold looking for leaks, and all the more annoying and esoteric, but still common as muck faults that these things have. I wouldn't ever bother looking at the trims, as they are usually bullshit on these old clunkers anyway.
