I had the fuel filter replaced, but it did it again the next day. I added dry gas later, and so far, so good. Well, it depends. If the dry gas has, indeed, fixed the problem, then we have no idea what was wrong. Your car is the right age to need a new fuel pump, Joe.
Fuel pumps can fail intermittently when they're on the way out.
And the fuel pump would be most likely to show signs of failure when the tank is empty. That's when you put the greatest strain on the pump. So my guess is that your fuel pump is on its way out, Joe. Have your mechanic test it and replace it if necessary.
