So I'm on the highway opening her up and right before the tach hits redline the engine just loses power, almost like it hit a rev limiter at about 6.5k rpm. I knew something was up right away so I threw it into neutral and just coasted to the next off-ramp. Right away I looked at my fuel gauge and it's sitting at 2 dots, warning light isn't even going off yet! Couple seconds later the warning light goes on. On my way coasting to the gas station any time I gave it gas it was bogging, even died on me but I was able to start it back up. Then, I look at the gauge once I get closer to the gas station and it's at zero all the sudden! I'm thinking POS gauge, it goes from 2 dots, to dying on me, to zero dots in like a 1 miles span. So I fill her up and bam, runs like normal. I've had some issues earlier in the spring putting gas into the tank, after 1 click-off from the gas pump I usually always turn it back on till the second click to top it off. Earlier in the spring when I tried doing the the gas overflowed outta the tank onto my bumper, after only one extra fill after the fist click! I never had that problem before and it shouldn't do that after one click, I'm thinking maybe this has something to do with the fuel gauge issue. And I was going in a completely straight line with this happened, although I had just come out of a tight on-ramp taking that right turn pretty hard, but I doubt that will cause the infamous gas starve issue on this car since the problem happened right after the corner,and it was a constant issue all the way up to the gas station, right?
