Fuel gauge for honda civic 1995 stock on full?
The fuel level sending unit or level sensor is the most common cause beside the gauge itself. This is how the circuit work:
The fuel gauge sending unit's resistance varies from about 2-5 ohms at full, to about 110 ohms at empty. When you turn the ignition switch off, the gauge remains at the last reading until you turn the ignition switch to ON (II) or START (III) again.
Make sure you check fuse # 15 (10A) in the under dash fuse/ relay box before starting checking the fuel sending unit (FSU)
This is how to test the fuel sending unit (FSU). It locates near the fuel pump. Ignition key is in OFF position (I) :
Remove the rear seat cushion and the access panel to expose the fuel pump and the fuel level sending unit (FSU). Disconnect the 3P (3 wires or cavities) connector from the FSU,
Connect a Volt meter between the Black/ White wire (Negative probe) and Yellow/ White wire (Positive probe) then turn the ignition key on (engine is not running). You should have about 5-8 volts. If not repair the open wire(s)
Then remove the FSU from top of the fuel tank and perform the resistance test for the float: Hold the FSU in up position, look straight into the FSU connection terminals; set your Volt meter to OHM (Resistance) and measure between the left side terminal and the middle one: By moving the float in all of the way UP is Full tank and all of the way DOWN is Empty. The Middle way is Half a tank:
At Full float position: The resistance should be between 105-110 Ohms.
At Half the tank: The resistance should be between 25- 40 Ohms.
At Empty: Should read between 2- 5 Ohms.
If the reading is not within the indicated ranges: Replace the FSU. The following link contains some useful pictures, it's for a Hatchback but it help for your visualization:

- 1995 Honda Magna vs 1995 Honda VFR 750? Which is better at -top speed -acceleration -do you think the top two matter? -driving pleaser (if you know) -sound (if you know) -reliability I'm looking to get one of these two but I'm not sure which one. I feel like I love these two motorcycles equally so do I get the cheaper one that I can find?
- How to fix a problem with a 1995 Honda del sol, where the fuel pump only works sometimes? The fuel pump has been replaced but only gets power sometimes. It's not the regulator and not the fuse. They have power going to the fuse but not to the fuel pump.
- Does the fuel tank size have any impact on fuel economy between vehicles? For example the new Honda Accords have a 56 Litre tank while the CRV has a 53 L and the Rogue a 55 L. Now the 2 latters are compact crossovers and are arguably bigger in size than the Accord, so would that mean they are using up more gas? Would that mean its better to buy the Accord if we were going based on just gas mileage?
- Can I replace my stock honda civic 03 steering wheel with one that belongs in a 2011 or 2012 honda civic? I would like to have the stereo controls on the steering wheel itself but the stock 03 steering wheel only has cruse control. I figure I will have to buy an adapter for stereo, I just want to know if It has the same mounting configuration and the air bags will work the same way.
