- 05 VZ Calais 5.7L Sedan
Gday All,
Seems to be a problem with my sender unit in the tank, at 1/4 fuel level or lower I'm starved of fuel. It happens when the car is either parked passenger side down, accelerating (won't go above 3k rpm) or around a right hand corner.
My workshop manuals are at home (Blackwater) and I'm in Rocky today so could buy the parts. Wondering if there is a hose that could have perished, causing it to suck air instead of fuel as soon as fuel moves to the wrong side of the tank, or if the sender is sitting too high. I imagine there's some sort of pot to give it some surge capacity near the sender unit when fuel moves around the tank.
It's a vz 5.7 Calais sedan.
Thanks
Hobbsy4.
