BlackLex Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 I never do this but After running my car really low on gas(the light came on) but was still above E. I filled up with 92 oct. and I told my boy to put the gas cap back on. Then I got in the car and it didn't want to start I tried a couple times and finally had to give it a little gas before it started . I then drove home about 300 mi. the car drove just fine just like usuall but when I stopped a couple of times it started very bad . I got home and the next day I put in a can of sea foam and filled it up again. sometimes it starts just fine and sometimes it doesn't(without giving it a little gas) My question Is when I ran it low on gas did I heat up the fuel pump and is it going out? my car has 160,000 mi. on it . Or did I get some crap from the bottom of gas tank in the line or in the filter or in the checkvalve? Also I noticed when I filled the gas the next day the boy had not tightened it very well and it was kind of loose I wonder If that could have messed with the computer(not having the right pressure in the tank)? My car runs perfect after it starts . It just doesn't start like it allways did(perfectly) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
