Fuel light and engine light

--- Black Base '05, 17,000 miles ---

Today, I noticed that the fuel light started flickering. Few minutes later the check engine light went off.

I completed my journey back home with the lights staring at me - one, winking and the other constantly staring at me.

The only mod I am guilty of is the K&N filter 3,000 miles ago, and Aiden design grille!!

However, the car runs great. Does any one know what's going on?

Just a follow up.

Disconnected the battery for a minute or 2 and the check engine light, as well as, the blinking fuel light problem was solved. I believe it all started when the attendant failed to tighten the cap fully. In NJ we don't have Self serve! - honest.

Re: Fuel light and engine light

I am in Southern California and recently went to Oregon for vacation. I was pumping gas into my rental car and was yelled ay for doing so. Oregon actually has a law against pumping your own gas. It really took some getting used to. It was nice having the windshield cleaned though. Are you supposed to tip these folks? The gas sure wasn't any cheaper.
