Pull the codes from the computer and let us know what they are.

Re: engline light comes on when low on gas
That's a pretty weird phenomenon. Stop by Advance Auto Parts; they will read your codes, free of charge.

Stupid Canada...

You should post in your local chapter, and see if there is anyone nearby with a scantool. Or depending on how much places charge to read codes, you can always buy a cheap scantool of your own.

Re: engline light comes on when low on gas
That is very strange. My first thought would be something wrong with the gas cap/evaporative emissions system... But yeah, get the code pulled before you go replacing parts.

Re: engline light comes on when low on gas
Well could be a lean condition. if its low on gas it could be letting a little air into the injectors or just sending less fuel to them. Also heard if you're fuel filter is kinda stopping up it would throw a lean condition also.
