Mysterious Fuel Gauge - where to start
I have noticed my fuel gauge acting weird recently as in going up and down randomly. Like today the fuel light went on then 3-5 minutes later it was a quarter full. Like WTF? Anyways, not sure where to start. Should I check any fuses/connections?

Be careful mine did that a few years back, and drove fine for 4 months; Than the fuel pump one day stopped working and left me stranded.
I think it was a problem with the fuel pump, level sensor switch.
If you can, access the fuel pump and check it for signs of damage.

Thanks man. I'll keep an eye on it. Heard it's a common problem.

All older Hondas are like that. I would get off work, drive home with the gas light on then tmr morning, I'd start up my car and the light is gone. Of course, I fill up with gas that morning. But my gauge fluctuates, I know my Honda so I know how much I have left. I have an 05 ex btw.
