This is a dumb question but when im not on E, one tick above E (empty) my car seems to drag and bogg a little but once i put half a tank of gas or more it is fine?? Is this typical or do i maybe have bad injectors, fuel pump...etc?? But when it gets close to the last tick above E it starts this!!??

When you have very little fuel in the tank, and you hit it hard, all the fuel is going to rush to the rear of the tank and away from the pickup. Either that, or your fuel level gauge is off a little. Also, when your tank gets low, the sediments from all the old gas collect around the pump.

Yeah like out of first like right now it will bogg down then itll go back to normal and jurk the hell out of my neck!! :mad: But its ok she about to get some 93!!
THAT IS NORMAL WHEN YOU GET BELOW A 1/4 OF A TANK. IT IS SUCKING AIR THROUGH THE FUEL PUMP WHICH IS CAUSING THE BOGG AND JURK.
