Default fuel guage problem
Everytime i start my car the needle is below E. Once i start driving it slowly goes up to where its supposed to be. i was idling waiting for inspection and it dropped to E. Started driving again, it went up. WTF is going on? Fuel sending unit bad or loose connection?

it sounds like your sending unit is shot.
