The intermittant aspect sounds like another post (the sending units use a sort of printed circut which the arm of the float rides against. the printed curcuit on the card in the sending unit corrods and you loose contact in sections of it and the guage intermitently drops to empty. usually worse when its full) . I had a problem with my buick regal gas gage as well it was all over the place, I replaced the pump. The unit I took out had a really loose fuel level sensoring unit, the rivet that held it close to the cuircuit board wasn't so good, it wasn't making contact with the dam circuit board all the time. can they make it any cheeper. it seems that if you have to get in there anyways it only make sense to replace the entire pump which may include the fuel gage sensor. my regal had about 180k during the repair
