My fuel gauge has been acting funky for about a month now. Above half a tank it's just fine, below half a tank something weird is going on. When you first turn the key on the needle goes all the way to full and will drop very slowly as you drive. If you shut the key off and turn it back on a second time the needle will go to the correct level but will slowly rise and fall about 1/8" as the car runs. It only does this below half a tank, above half a tank everything is normal. Any ideas?

Sounds like an anti-slosh issue then. But in a way that the older cars just can't manage because they don't have any kind of memory. Interesting.

I committed the ultimate sin today. I converted the Grand Marquis RAS to coil springs.
Ever since I got rear ended at approximately last June it’s been giving me issues. Every half hour like clockwork the air suspension light comes on and it stops working. I’ve literally replaced everything but the RAS module and the wiring.
A month ago it started leaking down about an inch over night. So I said to hell with it and ordered a set of made in USA coil springs that ended up costing me 1/3 of what two Arnott air springs would’ve been.
I really like the RAS and I even unconverted the ‘01 TC I bought that had been converted to coils, but in this case I think I made the right choice.
It’s becoming a bit of a shell of an LSE, no more variable power steering, no more RAS. But it’s my daily and I have to do what I have to do.
