    On the way home while hitting the gas from a stop light the car acted like it ran out of gas? I got to the side of the road and the car shut off? I thought it went into limp mode? Tried to start it no go! Let it sit for 5 minutes and it started then died? The fuel guage says 1/8 of a tank a gas I went into diagnostic mode and saw that both tanks had gas? Tried to start, would not. The car acted like it was out of gas? So I got a gallon of gas I could hear the gas hitting the tank! Got in and the car started? I ran out of gas?. Put the predator on and yes I had a code fuel something sensor? When I put gas in the car it still says 1/8 of a tank and the reading for the left and right tanks are still the same?

    So has anyone had this problem? And if so what did you do? Can I change out a sensor somewhere or am I dealer bound.

    Its real strange for sure wish I remember the code! I did the reset guages and now it says 1/4 of a tank. Its like the guage locked up? I ran out of gas, put gas in guages still locked. Came home surfed the web nothing but check guages and now the fuel gauge is were I think it should be? I am now thinking that the fuel code was just a code to tell me I had no gas?

    Have you filled the tanks up and does it still show 1/4th a tank left? If so, its has to be the gauges or the senor in the tank.

    Gauge is fine and since the guage is working is the senor working now also?
