Help!!!
I have a 98 C5. SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, ABS and LOW FUEL
show up on the dash.
Brakes were done just a month ago and my tank has plenty of gas!!!
The guage goes to enpty!!!
When I turn off the car sit for a moment and start it up again everything is okay for a while maybe a few minutes an hour or day
then it happens again.
I even had the tank recall done when that had came up years ago.
Any answers, has this happened to you?

I got a similar set of messages after installing my headers.
I had left a block ground disconnected. It could be a poor ground.
OR
It could be a fouled fuel sender AND a bad EBCM
If it is the EBCM then this site is among the cheapest ways to fix it. http://www.absfixer.com/
Run your diagnostic codes and post them...

Get the codes and we can give better advice but here are some suggestions.
Your ABS could easily be a connection that managed to come loose and needs to be pressed in more securely. There is a wire which connects to the back of your wheel sensor and is easy to check. Make sure it is clean before putting it back in.
The gas gauge is a common issue. You can continue to reset the code and it will go away or try some Techron which has worked for some people.
As stated though it could be something else so the codes would help.
