The gas guage on my van is stuck on full. I also have decreased starting power from a stop. Are the problems related and what do I need to do to fix it?

Asked by Diggerdog Aug 03, 2014 at 12:50 AM about the 2003 Ford E-Series E-250 Cargo Van

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My van takes 10-15 seconds to regain full power after stopping at a light or from any
stop. The guage issue and power loss started at the same time.

I'm guessin' that the issues are not related- your broken gauge sounds like a broken sender- the power loss? anybody's guess- fuel injection issues? How long has it been since you did a tune-up or any maintenance to this thing?
