Gas gauge works part-time.
Obviously my 98 thinks its not too important I know how much gas I have left. It works sometimes and the other times itll stay down at E and the gas lite will come on. I know its not empty. Where should I start with this? All other gauges work fine.

Check the fuel level sender's resistance at the connector back @ the gas tank next time it acts up.
On an 88 You should have roughly 90 ohms with a full tank, and near zero when empty.
half-tank should be about 45 ohms, etc. (later models work in opposite fashion)

Watched it a little closer on my way home. Was on e with the light on till about half way home...then bounced around a qtr till it finally went to half a tank...which is what it should be. How hard is it to replace the sending unit
