I screwed mine up last week, I put in a walbro fuel pump and I drove to a relatives house, on the way thier I dropped to only two bars. I had another 40 minutes ahead of me and I didnt fill up, it never dropped, then I picked up my cousin to get coffee and on the way there I started sputtering, I filled up with with 2 bars still lit up and I put in 12.7 gallons(most gas ever). above two bars it still works correct.

 

Went and looked again. My bad. I must have been seeing things last night. I went on Ebay and looked at some of the close up guage cluster pics on the s2k's there and sure enough, all the same with the missing chicklet. Still seems kinda strange, but as long as its normal I'm cool with it. Thx.

 

Either you used the angled pickup sock which intereferes with the fuel sending units float, or managed to bed the flaot arm when reinstalling the fuel pump.

Don't use the angled pickup sock. (it's intended to be used in an Integra) It doesn't sit flat on the tank floor and gets int he way of the float. Either reuse the OEM sock, or buy an new OEM sock.

If the sock jams the float = fuel gauge doesn't work

 

My guage works only till it gets down to 2 bars. Im not clear on what the sock does. I did the install without any directions.
