Default Dies whenever I am low on gas

whenever I am low on gas, like 1/4 tank, my car will die and will not start. then i get a code 16 which is the fuel injector code. I don't think it is because i ran out of gas because i still have 1/4 tank, i think there is something wrong with the injectors. but why wouldnt this happen when i have a full tank? I am stumped

Also, it may be the gauge reading wrong. Maybe you are lower on fuel than what you think.
Next time you are getting close to the 1/4 tank where it start to die on you, fill up and compair how many gallons you are putting in to how large your tank is -if you put close to the gallons that your tank holds -your were empty and your gauge is just wrong.

Though I more agree (with above reply) it is more than likely a pump -this is simple test to try to find out if it coulde be just the gauge.
