These sound like two separate issues. Service engine soon light is on due to a code being set. You will need a code reader to find out why that light is on. The low fuel light goin on and off. Fuel guage goin up and down is most likely the fuel level sender which is part of the fuel pump. The whole pump assembly would need to be replaced. Good luck and i hope this info helps.

I have a 1987 Chevy Pickup with a crate engine. I start it and it runs for about 15 -20 seconds and then shuts off. I have replace the air intake hoses, fuel lines, fuel filter. When it was turned on then started to idle low i dumped gas into it and it shut off immediately. Could it be getting too much gas? Would that mean the carb is clogged possibly? 4 Answers
