1st question: When if fuel up my 05 Buick
Terraza, I get a low fuel light and the gage says
empty. After about 48 hours and several start-ups
etc, the indicator finally settles down and reads
normally.....until I fuel up again. While it is
"acting up" I also get the engine icon lit up on
the instrument panel and, as one might expect,
the "Average Fuel Ecomomy" and "Range" readouts
are wackko too. Is this most likely the fuel
guage sending unit?
Also, I don't know if I have On-Bd Diagnostics or
not....the owner's manual says nothing about
it....probably the "Helms" type shop manual would
tell me about all that + the error codes and I
reckon I should go ahead and spring for the
manual. This make/model car has a terrible
reputation, but I have actually been very pleased
with mine...well, at least for the first 50K
miles.....and it sure "ain't my first rodeo" :-)
...... so the $ spent on a shop manual would
probably be well worth it (one stop at my frienly
Buick dealer for a repair would probably pay for
it.......and then some.)
Add'l question: I found that this sending unit is
available at gmpartsdirect.com. at considerable
savings. Has the newsgroup feedback (if any) re
this firm been good?
Thanks in advance,
Ed in TX
