Your battery is dead... or you just need a jump. At least that's the dance my guages made before i jumped it, afterwards drive it around for 10-15 minutes to recharge, you should be good (unless it's time for a new battery).

my 99 t/a does the same thing. it has done it since i have gotten it about 2 years ago. it pisses me off, because i cant ever keep up with my miles per tank. just figured i'd add on to everyone else's problem also.

My 99 was doing that as well ever since I bought it. I eventually got tired of it, and ordered a new gauge cluster, and its been perfect since.
