first of all hi to all fellow civic-eg members. i'm new here and would like to say hi to everyone.
okay straight to the problem.
problem - my gas meter on my cluster is broken and stays above a full tank now
how did it start?
well one day i was reading on this site about installing a VTEC light. i was reading through tons of it and found this link
http://causeforalarm.thecarthing.com/ve ... TEC_light/
so i quickly went outside into my ex and started up the project. i had my wires installed correctly, everything just like website had it. i started up my car, it gave me a CEL and for some reason my gas meter just kept rising pass the full tank line.
so i turned off the car, removed the wires and put everything back to how to was, my CEL disappeared but the gas meter on the cluster is still the same.
i have a few ideas of how what could of happened.
1. i was running under the empty line meter of gas. thats bad period and could be a reason why it just broke on me cause of running on low gas, somewhat choking the fuel pump.
2. i did not have the negative off the battery so it could of somehow altered the cluster
3. i was coloring all 4 meter sticks on the cluster and i was moving the meters around while coloring, but everything works fine except for the fuel meter.
could anyone come up with a diagnose of what could happen and how would i fix it?
i'm thinking of a new cluster or replacing the fuel pump.
thank you for anyone who could lend some advice.
