Screwy Gas Gauge on 126 1990 Sedan

Hello,
Are the 126 gas gauges known to have problems?
My first incident was when my car had about 160K. The gauge would not go all the way full when I fill it and while driving the needle would go to R then stay in the middle. Sometimes it would move like the speedometer needle, up and down randomly. After replacing the sender the problem was still there. I finally replaced the gas gauge cluster from a car with 76,000 miles and that solved the problem for about a year. The problem is now back. Anyone know what is causing this?
I have no other electrical problems that I know of.
Thanks in advance.
Dan

This topic has had plenty of discussion, tons of info here in the archives. Do a search on "faulty fuel gauge" or "fuel sender".

Find a comfortable place to read...
