| Description of the problem | My check engine light started coming on and going off. What i noticed was that it was in conjunction with my gas gauge indicating that i had no fuel (light came on and the gauge was on e) even after i had filled the tank. The situation seemed to correct itself until this week- not only did the check engine light come on and stay on, but the gauge continued to indicate that i had no fuel. Even more worrisome was the fact that when i went to put fuel in the tank, the gas pump cut off (indicating that the tank was full) after 3 gallons of gas. I knew that it should take more than 3 gallons to fill my tank, and so i took it to the mechanic. Diagnosis: both fuel tank pressure sensors need to be replaced.... To the tune of $650 worth of parts/labor. I was advised that fuel sensors are not usually faulty, and so came to this website to see if there was a recall notice that i may have missed. |
