Hey guys I have an 85 Z28 305 and it's carb. I just recently started having a problem with my Choke light. I was driving home last night and all of a sudden my choke light came on and my gas guage stopped working. I am thinking it is a short anyone encounterd this before? or have any suggestions? Thanks!

 

Welcome to the board.

I don't know but maybe your fuel level sender went bad. That would cause the gage to stop working, but it is strange why the choke light came on too.

thanks for the response I have more to add. Here goes. Last night my "Choke Light" came on and I know it could be the "Alternator Light" as well but I have a pretty big stereo and if the alternator was shot I would have lost power already. The car runs great except that the only guage that is registering something in the speedometer. The Tach, temp, battery and fule guages are all not working. This sounds like a short but I am not too sure. Also another thing to note is that when I have the key in the ignition and the door is open the buzzer goes off to let me know I have left the keys in the ignition. But when I turn the car on I usually get another buzzing that goes on for a few secs then shuts off but I don't get that anymore since the "Choke Light" has been on.
