i have just recently bought ford 1993 mustang 5 speed with a 2.3 with 146k miles i noticed this problem when i started the car. Before i turn the car on the fuel gauage will read anywhere between 3/4 to full but when i start the car the needle of the fuel gauge will go way above the full line i dont that much about cars so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like either the fuel level sender in the tank is shorted/stuck or the wiring from there to gauge is shorted somewhere
