Then once i get going the gauge goes down to empty until i stop again then it will go back up...(unless the car is off) then it wont move at all of course) if anyone knows how to fix this problem........plz help

From what you report it would appear that the gauge reads empty as soon as the car is in motion, but during filling the gauge runs up steadily as would be normal. This would indicate a broken circuit, but only after the car is moving.
Possibly a sender slider is failing to make contact when fuel surges in the tank.
Maybe a plug or lead becomes open circuit due to vibration when the car moves.
Please confirm that engine speed (increased engine RPM), has no affect and the car must be in motion for the gauge to go to an empty reading. The thought here is possibility of the alternator increasing line voltage and causing the problem, even though this is not a likely scenario.
