    Ran codes, nothing. Which is good. Fuel Gauge reading wrong was something that came up in thought but ignored it. Is there a way to test it?

    So after driving my car 2day, the EGR code decides to come on again. Just installed New EGR valve and gave the throttle body/ports/and all surroundings a good clean.

    Really don't know why it would throw that code again unless its intermittent somewhere(wires).

    Why me.....I thought I was good, lol

    Now I just gotta figure it out I guess.....clueless right now though
    Not your average grocery getter, but theres always at least two things on the list.... 10w-30 Castrol Titanium and Shell 91 premium mixed with a lil 100 octane racing gas......

    Sunday I drove the mower to the edge of the yard and put a free sign on it. 16hp 46" cut.. and in need of TLC. Bye bye.. new mower in the spring.

    Took some crap out of the back seat yesterday. Nice and clean again. Ohhhhh and this weekend I put on the new motor mount from Jason's dad/Swiggles. Thanks guys.

    I'm from Winnipeg Manitoba Canada, I just bought a 2000 grand prix gt. 3.8L. It ran great and kick butt. Then it started, sputtering, lacking and loss of power. Things I did, spark plugs and wires, cleaned throttle body and new fuel filter. Thought it solved prob but after fuel level goes down to 1/4 tank, it sputters like its got no fuel.
    I appreciate any insight to this. I really love this car and got major mod plans and an awesome body decal that I'm creating for it.
    if it runs good above 1/4 tank, it could be gauge as stated before, or the pickup tube could be bad or broken.

    My advise - if it runs good above 1/4 tank - dont let it go that low.

    and if u fill from 1/4 tank, how many liters does it take????????

    And FYI you should put this ? in a different thread.

    Welcome to the forum.
