    The other night im coming home from work I happen to glance over and my DIC says low fuel so I look at my gauge and its empty so im like what the heck I just filled up I also notice my temp,tach are both all the way down. Keep in mind im cruising going 75 on the freeway. I pull over turn er' off and back on still persists so I continue to drive home everything seems fine. I get home so on. Next day I go out and everything is fine. that night coming home from a 200 mile round trip it does the same thing so there is obviously something slowly going wrong or im crazy attached is a picture I took on my drive home. Any input is awesome thanks

    I've seen some crazy electrical things happen from alternators not outputting enough amps to power the system correctly you could run a load test on the battery and maybe test the alt.

    Battery is brand new and the alt I had tested when I replaced the battery so I really don't know where to look now...

    Well okay lets see. Looks to be a sensor problem. Almost as if the sensors aren't responding to the pcm, telling them what to report to the gauge cluster

    Its ironic when I just installed an intake which the pcm is located in the stock air box so maybe I need to check the connections on that .

    Make sure everything is plugged in tight, look at the grounds too. Like the grounds to the battery and if you can get a wire diagram the grounds on the PCM.
