Ok, so I just picked up a 240 that had been sitting for I don't know how long, but the fuel was garbage and it needed to be removed. After removing the old fuel I replaced the pump, put new gas in and dump some fuel system cleaner in it as well. The car wouldn't read the fuel level, so I figured the unit was damaged by the old fuel, but it began to work out of nowhere after driving it for a couple of days! But the thing is it only reads full or empty... Every once in a while it will dip to the actual fuel level, but then it just goes right back to full or empty. If anyone knows what is going on here I would greatly appreciate the help. Thanks for your time zilvia!
