On my way to work this morning, I plugged in my Cobb AP and checked for codes. Code P2A22 (reservoir fill status, correlation) was present. I looked up that code and found little to no information on it. I cleared those and it didn't come back.
On my drive home from work, the car stuttered and shut down conveniently across the street from a Shell station. I checked the code and codes P29DC (Cylinder Injection Shutdown) and P2AAF (Fuel Pump Plausibility) were present.
My first thought was an injector issue and second was fuel pump. I cleared the code hoping the car would restart and no dice. I had run out of fuel once before after installing my Walbro inline pump so I remembered it acting the exact same way when I would try to start the car. I looked at the fuel gauge and it was just below 1/4 tank.
I had the AAA card out and decided that I should buy a gas can and put a gallon and a half in the car to see if it would fire up and it did immediately. I drove across the street and put another 15.5 gallons in so I now realize that the tank had to have been bone dry.
For those who are wondering, the tank will hold 17 gallons when bone dry. My question is, what could have caused the gauge to read 1/4 tank when in reality I was out of gas? I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
