    it just doesn't worxk when tank is half full, it bounces around sometimes empty and sometimes full, not that big of deal since its got the fuel used on the dic but is kinda annoying, easy fix or not?

    Needs new fuel level sensor.

    Which is really only an arm that needs to be replaced. Its a cheap part, pull the pump and replace it.

    Youtube: Bonneville fuel level sensor replacement.

    Its a 3 part video on how to do it.

    easy fix.... i just would replace the whole pump/sending unit though.. you already will have the tank down and the fuel pump out anyways. But thats just my flat rate mechanic side talking

    Access hole in the trunk.

    No need to drop the tank. On 97-03 cars atleast, I think 04+ still have the hole, not 100% on that.

    Screw buying a pump when it aint broke lol.
