Subject: Sigh
So I went out to apply at a few places, got done, headed towards home. Made it to the corner of myers lake rd & cannonsburg rd. As I made the turn my car died out on me. Now this is the 2nd time this had happened. I have NO clue what the problem is. I got some gas into it and it started, several hours later when I could get some help. I gotta give thanks to Shane who picked me up ant brought me back to eden while I waited for my parents to help me out of there. If he hadnt come get me I would have waited in my car for like 2hours.

As for the 1st time this happened, I was heading home after runnin an errand for my sister. I had decided to take northland home, rather than the highway. (from plainfield) I made it to 10mile and as I waited at the light it died. So I got out, and started pushing, thankfuly someone noticed me from the bp right there and came to help me move it to the pump. Again gas fixed the problem.

Both times my gauge read it being plenty of gas. 1/4 on the first time, and 1/2 a tank the second time. So I dont know what to do anymore. Im just really concerned about going very far without my car just giving up on me.

maybe your gas gauge is broken. and you really don't have as much gas as it says?

That much is obvious, but I still feel like theres some underlying problem I dont know of.

after i got rear ended my car started doing that...after two or three weeks the gauge went to full and stayed there...but the "low fuel" light came on and stayed on...after a month or so we got a gas leak...the girl that hit me had knocked the gas lines loose...and i hit a bump and it knocked them off more...so now we go by mileage...if you know approx. the miles per gallon its pretty simple...you just have to clear the trip meter every time you put gas in...

Trip meter is busted, resets when ever I get battery troubles, or whatever this is, so I have to work off the total milage. Anyway ya I got the idea.
