Well I found out the hard way that the fuel light is not working, any tips for trouble shooting it would be helpful.Does the fuel light come on when you turn the ignition on for the start up sequence?

If you ran out of fuel you may find it running rough when you get back on the road. You will need to run at a steady speed for 5 miles or so after warmup to reset the AFV.

These sensors are weird things.
They don't have anything that moves or floats.
They use a low-current filament and a temperature sensor.

This means they are sensitive to what kind of bulb is in the dash.

I wish I could be more helpful about this but mine stopped working about 80,000 miles ago and I still haven't got around to fixing it!
I still have the little sensor hanging on my garage wall!

I just get gas every 150 miles or so : )
