Default 93 lx!!!

I have a 93 civic lx with the D16z6 and i am having problems with my fuel guage reading. Recently replaced the fuel pump and also the fuel pressure meter(sending unit). Still it is reading crazy. Now when i give it gas it reads below E but once im still/idling it raises.?????

It is normal for all 92-00 Civics to do that. Do not go by your gas gauge. Go by the amount of miles you have driven on the tank.

The gauge cluster is not the problem. It is the float gauge in the gas tank I believe. There is no baffle in the tank, so the fluid moves around in the tank, "tricking" the float gauge. Not sure if there is a "fix" for this or not.

Ok ..i bought one sender from the dealer put it in and it work worser..When i would give it throttle the guage needle would go below E n under the red line but once i came to idle it would rise slowly. So i was quoted it could just b a bad sender so im goin to get the new one in a few and get it replace and see if thats a GO...I hate malfunctioning gas guages!!!
