Plz Help: Car Skips When Low On Gas
- Thread starter JDM_BTCH

after that, my fuel pump's check valve was faulty and caused my car to run lean.. same symptoms u had said. i just replaced the fuel pump and it was fine (not to mention replaced engine cuz it ran lean)
so, if it does it again, its really easy to change a pump, make sure you use hand tools. the brushes on the drill make sparks and fumes and spark will cause you more problems than anyone can handle.

Make sure you test it using the method described in the link in RonJ's signature.
I believe she already bought the O2 sensor. I guess, of course, she could return it if it's not needed.

Yes, I did already buy the O2 sensor. I am still confused on what you mean RonJ. I could show my boyfriend what you said and see if he understands it better then me lolz. I went to the link that someone had posted but I don't have the tool shown to test my fuses and don't even know what it's called....
The tool is called a test light. It's inexpensive and is available at any auto parts store.
No problem. By the way, that sig is out of spec. Max is 500x100. Might wanna switch it before mods see, haha.
Well just want to add my story. A friend of mine had the same exact problem. The car would stutter when the fuel ran low. He checked everything but they came out fine. Then he found out that he had some fine sand in the fuel tank. Imagine that!

Haha thanx whoopnip, I had no idea there were size requirements for those, ill definetly change that.
Cheeseneck - the bogging problem was fixed by replace the distributor cap n rotor. Now im replacing my o2 sensor (which i just finished doing) in hopes of fixing a low idle issue n to get rid of my CEL. Ill know if it worked soon. :-)

By the way, why does your Si have a steelie on it in that sig? Is it a spare?
I'm dealing with a problem kinda like this right now... Anywhere below 3k rpms, I have absolutely NO power and the care kind of stumbles past the 3k mark and then feels fine... I'm planning in replacing the plugs, dizzy cap and rotor asap to try and fix this, but imma pay attention to this thread and see how it turns out for you...

No, it has steelies on it, thats what was on it when i got it. Looks arent my first priority, im saving that for next year.
As far as progress, my bad, we replaced the wrong o2 sensor. So we're gonna leave it as is until my exhaust comes in, then while replacing that, were going to check the front o2 sensor for bad wiring n such, if it needs to be replaced we will do it then. Itll probably be another 4 weeks before my exhaust comes in unfortunetly.

If you read the entire thread, you will see that the main bogging/misfire problem was fixed by replacing the cap and rotor. The thread has now become focused on fixing an O2 sensor code.
