wondering if anyone can help me with this.. first off my STI has not been driven for 2-3 months. I decided to start it up today and noticed the gas light was on. I drove it to the gas station and put 4 gallons in it. The gas light is still on and the gauge has not moved. Any suggestions on why this would happen??
Did you replace the fuel pump before not driving it? My only guess is the float thingy being bent. sorry, that's all I've got.
no I did not fill it up while it was running. I did drive around to move the gas around (lol) to maybe get something that was sticking unsuck that did not work till I restarted it to put it back in the garage and now it works fine?? Hmm ..
Here's a question. Was it almost entirely empty before you put it away? I only ask this because the light comes on when there is about 4 gallons left in the tank. Maybe a little less than that. If the tank was nearly bone dry when you fired it up for the first time, and you let it idle to warm up, then drove it to the gas station, it may have been throttling you around on fumes. If that is the case, you may not have put enough fuel in to turn the light off. You said you put 4 gallons in. Have you tried putting in more gas?
good point!! I dont remember how much was in there months ago.. I dont really drive it lately because I have a second car. trying to keep the miles off of it.
my 04 sti does the same thing, light comes on and I fill it up. Gauge stays on empty until I shut it off and wait a few minuites and start it again.
well not all the time.. bought it back in 07 was daily driver till this year put 55k on it dering that time. I probually put 3-4k on it this year.
