| Description of the problem | Check engine light came on and the fuel gauge began jumping all over the place. It would say i had 88 miles to empty and then jump back up to 130. The next day the check engine light was off and then the next it would be back on again. Had a mechanic check the codes and it was a bad fuel sensor. I took my car to the dealership and they replaced both fuel sensors for $416. If i hadn't gotten it fixed, i wouldn't have been able to pass emissions testing which is mandatory in my county. Also, i wouldn't have any clue how much gas i had and could've been stranded. |
