oh, my bad, it stays on empty then if i make a hard turn sometimes it fluctuates and acts normal for a while, sounds like a short, but if its acommon problem it may be a common fix, ya know?

Yeah seems to be a short wire somewhere. Whenever you turn you probably trip the wire for a bit then it goes out. It seems just tracing the gauge wire back to see where its coming from is the fix for this.
