| Description of the problem | Check engine light came on then when i filled vehicle with fuel gauge went to empty and low fuel light came on. Gauge does not come back on u til vehicle is driven from 85 to 125 miles and then takes awhile to reach up to around 3/4 full. Never really sure how much fuel is in tank. Was advised to change the fuel tank cap and did twice but still not working. Have to rely on trip gauge to know if i have enough fuel. This seems risky for an almost 75 year old woman. |
