Your fuel level sending unit in the gas tank is probably bad. mine has gotton so bad i have to use the odometer and just fill my gas tank every 240 miles. i just found a kit to replace the problem sending unit on e-bay for $38 so i am gonna give it a try.

Replace you Gas Cap and see if it will not stop this Problem. If the Seal on the Gas Cap is Bad it will allow air into the Tank and will cause this Problem. Please Rate My Response! Thanks!

Bad sending unit attached to fuelpump or most likely a crimped or chaffed wire to it, either inside the tank or outside.

08 chrysler sebring touring sedan what could cause it to lose power & die when driving 55+mph.

This almost seems like the vent on the gas tank is not allowing air in the tank as the fuel level drops. When the suction in the tank gets too high, no fuel flows.

My check engine light came on, 'i had it read, the read said that the coils were bad, I filled the gas tank and the light went off, what's wrong?

Hard to say. The gas cap might have been loose. That will turn the Chk Eng light on. When you filled the gas tank you made the cap tight again.

Get the codes read again if the light comes on again.

The gas tank has a sensor to monitor fuel evaporation. If it determines that fuel is evaporating from the tank, the check engine light will come on. It usually is caused by the gas cap losing it's seal. Get a new gas cap,make sure it is made for your car. That should eliminate the light.

Service engine light on. Gas tank fills to 3/4 and clicks off. The model is XG350L 2004. The problem began about 2 months ago. It has been worked on once to replace a vacuum valve but still didn't fill up...

Did you have the fuel pump changed? They might of bent the electronic float assembly in the gas tank causing it to read 3/4 full.and making the check engine light come on.

My Mazda MPV randomly begins to "chug" and act like it will die at a stop. the check engine light comes on. Started about 6 months ago. Seems to happen more when it rains. If I tighten the gas cap it stops...

the gas cap and check engine light thing are related in terms of the EVAP system, or the evaporative emisions system. This is NOT where your surge, or "chug" is coming from. The surge could be coming from a Exhaust Gas Recurculation valve that is starting to bind or "hang up" a bit. DO you notice this happens more at lights, or when coming to a stop? if so it could be an idle air control vavle.

Check engine light comes on after refueling the vhicle. gauge doesn't read full, then it will. light goes out after a day or two.

Also, be sure to not over-fill the gas tank. When filling the tank, when it sounds full (you can hear gas gush up the filler neck) and when the filler clicks off the first time...don't be tempted to keep clicking more gas into the tank because over-filling can cause a variety of problems (including setting the light) and can eventually saturate/ruin the fuel vapor canisters.

Check Engine Light Comes on Intermittently

The P0141 code points to the O2 sensor heater circuit. It could be that there is a short in the wiring to the O2 sensor or it could be that the O2 sensor heating element itself is bad. The code is for O2 sensor Bank 1 Sensor 2. Bank 1 means its the O2 sensor connected to the exhaust pipe that runs to cylinder #1. Sensor 2 means that it is likely the O2 sensor after the catalytic converter on the same exhaust pipe.
