acts like it's running out of gas but it's not. what's up? 1998 z28. Sometimes it seems like it is running out of gas. I give it gas and it hesitates until it just shuts off. I turn the switch a couple of times and it starts working right again for a little while and then the same thing. The first time it happened I thought I was out of gas as my fuel gauge is stuck on full. Also it will not let me fill the tank up anymore than 15 dollars at a time. Why would it do that? The tank is standard size and I know it holds more than 5 gallons.

Check fuel pressure, could be weak pump, clogged fuel filter, or even a loose connection to the fuel pump. Maybe scan for codes to see if it's throwing a code before digging in anything. Also make sure the fuel gauge is working and that your not actually out of fuel .
