Answer
Michelle: Go to a different shop and have them test your fuel pump. It sounds like a problem with the fuel pump. You know don't you that you should not get the tank down to below 1/4 of a tank because the fuel is what keeps the fuel pump cool. If you run the tank all the way down to empty to much, the pump will get cooked. But I know with the high cost of fuel, people are trying to get all they can out of a tank of gas. But got to be careful with the pump too, any shop can test the pressure the fuel pump is putting out, and they should know what pressure your pump should be doing. God bless: Linda
