Default Fuel Question

Alright, I have a 2000 camaro (v6 obviously) 3.8...ANYWAYS, i get off work today and I start up my car to warm it up and my fuel gaugedid not go up at all until I started moving, and even then it went upvery slowly,and at first I thought someone syphoned my gas, being paranoid haha. But I just wanted to know if this has happened to anybody or if they have a solution if it persists...i'm kinda worried it's the fuel pump but I sure hope not because that can get pricy.

The fuel pump doesn't indicate level... It does have the sending unit on it though. One's performance shouldn't affect the other.

Maybe if it is cold, try some Heet in your gas... But the problem is likely more serious -- like a bad fuel level sensor.

Also, have you tried a few tanks of fuel system cleaner?

I'll pick some of that stuff up when I go to the auto parts store tomorrow, gotta get a new headlight bulb anyways. It's been consistent today, but i'll def. keep my eye on it the next few days.
