Answer
Hey mark:
Most of the time the issue is with the fuel level sensor on the fule pump module inside the tank. you need to drop the gas tank down and take the pump assembly out of the tank and replace the level sensor on the pump module. It's a pretty easy job once you get the tank out. the level sensor just either snaps or slides on to the pump assembly. It depends on the model year I can't remeber which on that has in it. good luck :}
