Does the guage register the fuel or does it show still empty.

I suspect the sending unit is faulty. I beleve this is part of the fuel pump and is $$$$ to replace as the whole unit should be swapped out.

Sending unit is faulty - could be a bad ground. I would check the ground first, then replace the sender.

Kinda pricey if it is integral to the pump assembly in the tank (I dont recall 100% on an 89, my 85 and 90 were -- so reason says it prob is in the tank).
