Does this happen while at a steady engine speed, or when you come to a stop. Mine is about 25 lb. stopped, and about 50 lb. when she is taching 1700 RPM. I had a GM product once that never seem to move much. All my Chrysler products seem to give a real time reading. They all moved a lot.

my 98 did same thing and would even throw light on gauge for so low, new sending unit, and now works just great.
