My gas gauge is all messed up in my 84 xj. sometimes, but not very often, it reads normal, but any other time the needle goes all the way forward past the "F" and it aims strait down. Any ideas on the problem/solution? thanks guys

Well, its probably your gas gauge sending unit.. which, in that case.. get a new one and have fun, cuz its a PITA....

BUT ALSO!!! Erratic gauges are a sign of bad engine ground
