Stalling cavi

Went to start my car earlier, and it spuddered and stalled. Puzzled, I looked at the gas gauge wondering if I had neglected to put gas in lately. My gauge was reading just above the red line. So I tried several more times to get my car going. Each time it would start spuddering and stall. Got a gas can and tossed some gas in fixing the problem.

The only thing is, wouldn't it only do this if it were much lower on gas? Could this be a sign of a faulty sensor, or maybe something worse... like say a fuel pump beginning to fail? Oh, fuel filter has been replaced and I've used SeaFoam in it before.

Re: Stalling cavi

Could be clogged fuel lines.. but just give her a drink to find out. maybe your guage is off? possibly the IAC valve too? just shooting the dark here

Re: Stalling cavi

did you ever replace your gauges or the background of them. When i replaced mine i accidently made it a little slanted and a hair above "E" is "E" for me compared to my old gauges which was a hair below "E"

Could have sucked up some gunk from the bottom of your tank and clogged your fuel filter.
