Car stalls?!
WHen I got 2 bars left on my fuel meter, I cant make WOT runs, the car stalls on me? Is it a bad fuel pump, or just a bad fuel censor? WHen I fill here up I can make WOT runs all day :)

It is also not good to let your car get this low on fuel. Since the fuel cools the pump you run the risk of overheating the fuel pump and causing premature failure.

If you punch it or corner hard what little fuel remains is not reaching the pump. A couple of vette owner friends of mine read two bars and some less when and this happens. Mine goes all the way down until the red Check Guages light come before this happens. It's just the differences in the sensor compared to the actual fuel. Besides if you want the fuel pump to last longer, fuel up when it gets to 1/4 - 1/3 of a tank.
