I wouldn't count on it- Lee's tested all the relevant parts on my car, they all have power/function and still no reading!

Paul, have you done any tests yet? If so, what have you found?

Hi John,

Ive not actually done any tests so to speak.
But i did do the computer reset procedure, but that did not seem to help.

Interestingly, the MPG appears to be quite accurate at 27mpg.

Hi Paul,

That tells me that your speed sensor, and the ECU output flow info is working, the MPG does not need fuel level to compute. The first thing I would check is the fuel level sensor, you will have to remove the boot liner to access it, pull the plug out of it and see if the reading (of 2.5gals) changes. If you are handy with a meter see if there is a resistance across the pins of the sensor (plug disconnected) If there is put some fuel in the tank and see if the resistance changes. See how you go with that first :wink:

John

PS. Does the 2.5 flash at any time?
