I'm in the process of trying to fix the fuel gauge in Grant's SLC. The DigiDash would alway read "FLA" in the main display which is the Fuel Level Alarm and Grant had pre-warned me that this was a known problem/issue. I hooked up a laptop to the DigiDash serial port and was able to disable the alarm and also check that the sensor selected for the fuel level was correct for the VDO Dip-Tube sender. I've removed the sender and checked it's operation and it seems to read correctly at empty (0%) and full (100%) when the dip-tube is out of the car and I'm manually tilting it back and forth to move the float. However, If I put it back in the car it just goes back to reading 0% as before with the tank half full.
I'm wondering if the sender is flaky and should be replaced. It's a bit of a pain to get at so am thinking it probably makes sense to just replace it while I'm at it. My question is what sending units have people had the most success with when using the DigiDash setup. Should I buy the same VDO dip-tube style or should I look at something like the new Holley’s Easy Level Fuel (LIDAR) Sender? Has anyone on the forum tried this new Holley unit in their SLC?
Thanks in advance for the help! Scott
