Question edited for clarity
Take it to a good local auto-electrician as advised.

Have it checked for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes , before you start playing with thing's . All the gauge setting information comes to the instrument cluster over serial data network GM Class 2 from the PCM/ECM engine computer . Could have U codes stored, Do you know anything about serial data networks or U codes ? If not, do yourself a favor an have a qualified repair shop check it.

Fuel Gauge
The instrument panel cluster (IPC) displays the fuel level based on information from the engine control module (ECM). The engine control module (ECM) calculates the fuel level based on information from the fuel level sensor. The engine control module (ECM) sends the fuel level information to the body control module (BCM) via the serial data circuit. The instrument panel cluster (IPC) displays the fuel level as received from the BCM. The fuel gage defaults to E (empty) if:
• The ECM detects a malfunction in the fuel level sensor circuit.
• The IPC detects a loss of serial data communications with the BCM.
• The BCM detects a loss of serial data communications with the ECM.
When the fuel level is less than a pre-determined value, the Low Fuel indicator message illuminates.
Speedometer
The instrument panel cluster (IPC) displays the vehicle speed based on information from the engine control module (ECM). The engine control module (ECM) calculates the vehicle speed from the vehicle speed sensor (VSS) input. The ECM sends a serial data message to the BCM indicating the vehicle speed. The instrument panel cluster (IPC) displays the vehicle speed as received from the BCM via serial data circuit.
The speedometer defaults to 0 km/h (0 mph) when any of the following occur:
• The ECM detects a malfunction in the vehicle speed sensor.
• The BCM detects a loss of serial data communications with the ECM.
• The IPC detects a loss of serial data communications with the BCM.
How can I bypass the anti-theft system?
Short answer is, you can't. The anti-theft system and immobilizer is controlled by the Engine Control Module and/or Body Control Module. You can't reprogram a computer to do what you want to achieve.
You have to fix what is wrong, not find a way around it. The system is there to stop exactly what you are trying to do.
How can I bypass the anti-theft system?
Have you tried the passlock relearn procedure? I looked at your vehicle 2.2L engine. The passlock sensor usually surrounds the key tumbler. a common problem with that sensor, wires get loose. I don't know how to bypass security system? just my opinion. good luck
2008 Vue. Where is the fuel filter?
It's just inside the chassis under the vehicle on the driver side just in front of the rear wheel. Its silver and about the size of a small can of beans. It's an in line filter, takes about 1/2 to 1 hour to change with fuel line tools. You dint have to have special tools. A pair of needle nose pliers and a small standard screw driver will do. Park it where you don't mind dumping about a half pint of fuel. have a rag and oil pan to catch the fuel and it be under pressure so be careful taking lose. use the rag to keep the spray from getting on you. then pull the hose towards the pan and if you use a clean pan you can pour the fuel into your mower or back in the tank just not the dirt and rust
I have a 2002 saturn vue v6 3.0, cranks but wont start
Unplug the fuel injector wires from the injectors and do an ohm test on the 2 pins the wires clip on. I've forgotten what the reading should be, but if the injectors are bad the reading will be a bit different from the other bank. Normally when a cylinder is misfiring the injectors are not firing to shoot the fuel in. I do hope this helps, but be ready to change those injectors.
