Rep Power: 0 Misfires and codes with low gas level
I'm having misfire codes with my 03 civic ex. I first got these codes last year and the problem turned out to be a clogged intake manifold. After I had it cleaned out the codes went away for about 7 months. Now I'm getting these codes again, but only when my gas tank is below a 1/4 tank. Once I fill up the tank and drive it for about a mile the codes go away. Anyone have any explanation for this??

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one
Re: Misfires and codes with low gas level
If it's a random misfire code, I might guess the strainer on the inlet to the pump may be clogged, causing it to cavitate and pull air when fuel level is low.
Or is it a single cylinder misfire code?
