Fuel guage died
I am inputting for a friend with a 99 coupe. He said he was driving down the interstate and his fuel hand went from full to empty. So he pulled over and shut the car off and restared and everything went back to normal. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, what's the fix?

I think this is caused by the float and the inner-tank gauge being off. I know someone that had the tip of the inner-tank gauge break off, so it messed up the signal it sent to the dash fuel gauge.
Down side is you have to drop the tank to fix.
