So two days ago I was coming home from a 30 mile commute and my check engine light came on. The car seemed to be running totally normal and there was no lack of power and it seemed to be idling fine. The only bit that I did notice is that it would not push into eco mode when on the highway after the check engine light came on.
Yesterday I went and had the code pulled by my local pep boys, to find that the code was pulling P2066 for a fuel level sensor. The guy at Pep Boys said it shouldn't leave me stranded, so I thought I would drive it right to the dealership and have it looked at just to be safe since I'm still in warranty. On my way down to the dealer going about 65 MPH on the highway, the gas pedal went soft and it was sputtering out.
I pulled over and tried to get her to turnover, the first 2 attempts it started and then immediately cut out. Then the next few attempts it just wouldn't kick over and had almost a slight whining sound.:smiledown:
I did just get my car back a week ago from a minor traffic accident (fender bender no engine components or fluids needed to be removed) but I don't believe this would have anything to do with it. The dealer said they would need to run some more diagnostics but they suspect that it has something to do with the fuel system, but they won't have an answer until tomorrow.:SHOCKED:
**EDIT** I forgot to mention that I tried to clear the code by disconnecting the battery the first night it came on thinking it may just be a computer problem, but even disconnecting the battery did not turn off the light! Weird, right?
Has anybody experience a similar problem or can any of you wrench heads shed any light on this one?
