I pulled over in the shoulder and the car stalled out. Now my car does this everytime I drive it. I know it's a fuel problem but i don't know if it's just bad gas or something mechanical. I just changed the fuel filter yesterday and the O2 sensor last weekend. My dad said it could be electrical. I don't know? Can anybody help?
Can you hear or feel the actual engine revving or is it running normal and the needle bounces? If it is running normal and the needle bounces, it is possible that one of the screws in the back of the cluster that holds that piece in is not secured. I had this happen when I did my LED conversion, my gas gauge was bouncing all over the place, I didn't know how much gas I really had.
It turned out to just be a loose screw.
