Is that possible. Like when for example i have driven over 300 miles, and the niddle is on empty and the yellow light is on. the car if turned off for like 30 minutes or so doesnt start right away. but when the tank is full it fires right up? could that be due that the absense of gas pressure in the tank or the fuel pump not delivering enough fuel into the injectors?

 

turn the key to the first position and you will here the pump go on and just wait a few seconds and then fire it up.

 

thanks!

 

You can try that but the reason it wont start right away is simply because of the lack of gas.

 

is this a serious question? your practically asking why wont my car start without gas. when you get that low on gas, your cars practically running on fuel fumes or vapors. which is still combustible. obviously it wont start up just like when its getting proper fuel.. its a good idea not to let your fuel goto the extreme e. because your fuel pump picks up the corrosion and dirt on the floor of your gas tank and clogs up your fuel filter.

 

not sure if this is true or not, but my mom had an old audi 5000s car.. weird thing.. but anyways she ran compleatly out of gas and they told her she had to get her gas lines or system charged up to get the gas flowing through the system again... and that any Fuel Injection car that gets low on gas, needs to have this done.. im thinkin its BS but not sure...

this works. try it. my civic does it. even when im like 1/4 full sometimes itll do it.
put it in the that first position and let is sit there for a few seconds!

 

the old carberated engines.. you run out of gas you must prime your carb with a bit of gas to get it started. as for it not starting right w/o gas...

 

why do u even let the gas gauge get that low? lol i feel back up right b4 i get to a quarter tank of gas
