Mine has the same thing going on. Could be from previous frame damage. Thinking I might have to adjust the hood to get the damn thing to work.

I see everyone posting up that your fuel sending unit is bad in the fuel pump- Is the needle completely dead to one side of the gauge or does it float all around? I'm thinking you have a problem in the cluster just because your tach also doesn't work. When the fuel sending units go bad, you will usually see the gauge float all around, not just drop to one side and stay there. Just don't want you to replace your fuel pump if that isn't the issue.

the fuel guage is pegged at full all the time and the tach doesnt even flinch.

Sounds like a ground wire possibly. For the Fuel Gauge the 1998 wiring is one year only..signal comes from the Sending Unit, goes into the PCM, then goes out to the gauges.

Sorry to butt in,
But I have a 93 Formula, And the tack doesn't read either. It does move however, just in a very awkward range. It floats up to about a quarter, and then skips the whole quarter to 3/4 past half then its ok again. Is this the same issue with the fuel pump?
