fuel gauge

moves as if it's ticking..
any thoughts

What colour is the speedo and fuel gauge, and year of the car. There are different systems depending on the year.

Takes time for the 'hot wire' gauge to warm up to the correct reading......

As Roy says its "hot wire" its just jerking as it warms up.

i think the gauge is not working...
also its a gold colour and not black like the speedo..
as said before it will only just (tick)..
i have plenty of fuel in tank.

do i need to get another gauge???
