Fuel gauge points down after LIM gasket replacement
2001 Blazer LT 4.3.
I replaced the Lower intake manifold gasket last weekend and now the fuel gauge points down to 5 oclock. Did I miss something while putting it back together? Any ideas? Thanks |
1. always
2. just when key on 3. where is it key-off? photos would help What NON-SOCKET connections did you change? Did you remove grounds on back of engine? What else doesnt work right? |
Mine does that occasionally if the battery has been disconnected for more than a few seconds. Nearly tore the dash apart trying to fix it the first time. Disconnecting the battery again, then letting it run for a bit (ignition on might be enough) took care of it.
I never did catch it in the act of getting better. I looked at it gleefully pointing down, muttered a few curses, then look back a while later and it's sitting there all casual like nothing was ever wrong. |
It is like that when the key is off or when running. The needle in the dash points to about 5 oclock.
I've only had it running a few minutes so far. Started it up and let it run a few minutes then shut it down to change the oil (then stripped the drain plug). So now I just have to refill it with oil and drive it. I changed the LIM gasket, valve cover gaskets, plug wires and distributor cap. No plug/electrical connections. |
