car: 85 ptype 6mge-present
problem:
1.) gas gauge readings are inaccurate; while driving, it would drop and then climb back up, sometimes staying in an inaccurate level. When fully refuel tank, the gauge will give accurate reading-full-until I step on the gas and the car is moving. note: problem occured about 2 months ago, couldn't fix it, so I set my mileage clock whenever I fill up the tank(takes about 200 miles on full tank)
2.) Problem happend early this year too-Feb. Car never did this in previous 5mge. Went out with friends...came back to start supra, and idle dropped to 100-300 rpm. The car didn't die-good thing. Ever since then, the car idles rough in cold morning-Sacramento(200-300rpm). Until I drive supra and it warms up-15+minutes.
3.)Early this year, battery gauge falls to short-around 15volts. Used to be 17-18volts with/without lights on. Now, it falls short and drops to 12volts, with lights on, and dimming the lights. Gauge sits at 16-17 without lights on. New battery replaced last year.
note: I have two 10W3 JL subs(10inch), 300watt amp, and Pioner deck.
I read post about '83 gas gauge problem and considering advise. Any more advise is much appreciated.
