So my CEL came on (yes i searched already) after driving about 250 miles. Turns out its a fuel level sensor circuit malfunction. Have no idea what this could be, could someone enlighten my uneducated self?

 

It's either the wiring going to the fuel level sensor, or the sensor itself. Pretty self explanitory.

 

alright, so on that note does anyone know where the sender is located on a 02 v6?

 

in the gas tank, as part of the fuel pump assembly. You have to replace the whole thing

 

Yeah it sucks. I have to change the assembly one of these days but my fuel level sensor stops working when the tank has less than a 1/4 tank so I just keep lotsa gas in it.

 

well i didn't notice anything weird in my gauge and its dropping normally. So i reset the battery and drove it all day (about 50 miles.) It never came back on so i hope it doesn't. if so it sounds like its gonna be a pain in the @$$
