Just because your mechanic changed it, doesn't mean it's good. One would like to think so but that's just not the reality of the matter these days. A) did he replace it with EXACTLY the right part? Physically and electrically? B) did he orient the new part correctly in the tank? The inside of the gas tank is full of baffles so you need to be sure the sender inside is of the right physical proportions and is positioned correctly so as not to bind or catch on any of the internal baffles. And, it needs to be the right sender electrically too. It needs to be the right Ohm reading at top and bottom of the swing. Also, on these cars there is another contact made when the sender arm is at the bottom of the swing (empty) that turns on the light within your gauge to let you know you're near empty. Sounds like that wasn't happening either. So is it the right sender? Is it correctly installed so as not to bind? So with the information you've just given us, the odds are even higher now that the problem is in the sender and not the gauge. Rick
