I have not been having good luck since I bought this beast but I knew going into it it might need some work so been wrenching on it fixing everything I could as I go along.
Anyways it's been running perfectly after few repairs, and maintenance items, and power pack 2 install and at lunch I went to go get some quotes on alignments and camber bolt installs.
My gas was at about a quarter to empty so I checked my distance to empty and it said 35 miles so I started my drive to the gas station. I was almost there and I lost all power and the car started coasting immediately. It was like I ran out of gas but without the engine bucking. Flat road no incline. Pulled it to the side, luckily I wasn't on her freeway since it lost power immediately after a shift. I might not have made it to the side of the road........
So popped the hood checked checked everything I could see nothing's was out of place. Tried to start it a few times and it just cranked strongly but no start. Plenty of battery. Pulled out the obd2 scanner no codes at all.
Called triple AAA to bring me some gas. They only supplied 87 instead of 91. Poured some in the tank and boom started right up........
Dash now reads 74 miles till empty instead of 30. No low fuel indicator and the needle wasn't even close to all the way E.
I'm glad the car started but it's hard to believe I ran out of gas UNLESS the power pack 2 has some kind of safety net to shut the car down if fuel is under a certain level?
Anyways it's still been a blast to drive and mod this car so im not defeated yet just dumbfounded as to what happened.
2015 GT PP1 6SPD, lowered, wheels, powerpack 2, sync 3 are the only upgrades.
