gas gauge is not working properly

[zach_ws6]

k, i hope nobody has posted this question before, i did a search and couldn't find anything on it. when i turn on my car (2000 ws6), it says check gauges and my gas gauge will not work. it stays all the way down past empty, if i drive for awhile with out turning it off or stopping for along period of time, the gauge will slowly crawl up to where it is supposed to be. does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix it? thanks a lot
