    PROBLEM FIXED = BAD PCM

    2000 GTP

    Went to go start my car today, and it would crank, but not start. Typically it starts in just a bump of the key. I noticed the gas gauge read full, yet the digital display showed 0 mi left.

    Car was low on gas (1/4-1/8 left) a week or so ago, so not sure why it would show full?

    Wondering if I had a gas theft or evaporation somehow? Thinking of filling up a 5 gal with 93 and seeing if that is the problem.
