Wow! Fuel light never came on...P0190!!

[SilvrBullet]

Hey guys just an FYI...one of my friends has an 03 Cobra and it died on the way to work. He had cruise control on doing 70mph. He was getting error codes P0190 and p0193. He changed the FRPS and still didn't start. Anyway out of desperation he decided to add some gas even though it showed an 1/8 of a tank and when it died the fuel light wasn't even on, sure enough it fired right up. So just be aware about getting into boost with less than a 1/4 tank!!! Looks like these cars can suck the fuel basket dry and show no signs of needing gas!

I never let any of my vehicles get below 1/4 tank...

you got that right!

they depend on the fuel mass to keep cool and even with our baffled tank, there's a chance of gulping air

1/8th of a tank?? :nonono:

$4 bucks for a pack of smokes, a scratch off lottery ticket and $5 bucks in gas

The Whipple Kits come with a Sticker saying NO WOT with less than a 1/4 tank.

I usually get gas at a 1/4 tank but have got low enough for light to come on a couple times. This scared me cause I would get in boost until light and I felt fine with that. Not anymore!

True dat! I only give it WOT with 1/2 tank or more. With gas prices these days, its just not worth it. Once that light comes on, I get nervous!!!

Cobra suck gas? Who woulda thunk it.??!??!?

I try to keep 1/2 tank or more in her, never less than 1/4

The things you learn. A few years ago I burned up a 190 fuel pump in my '93 and couldn't figure out why. My friend asked me if I ran it low all the time and proceded to tell me that the fuel keeps the pump cool.

On my '03 I always top the tank off. I usually let it run right up until around the point that the light comes on. My car is driven pretty easy most of the time but I'll start getting gas at 1/4 tank from now on just in case.
