first put in 2 can of injector cleaner in the gas tank when you are low on gas and then put in 2 gallons of gas and drive it that may fix some (cheap quick fix for lots of problems)
Unfortunately, yes. It's a pain. I own a 1991 Pontiac grand prix SE 3.1L.
My fuel pump problem started when I ran out of gas (gas gauge was offset) Of course it shuts off w/o gas but it will more likely kill your fuel pump and clog the $#!t out of your filter.
If it makes a buzzing sound under the vehicle w/o the engine running, near the trunk area, replace it along with the filter.
make sure you fuel tank float isn't becoming saturated with gasoline. If the gauge reads full when it is indeed full, you probably don't have a short in the wire that goes to your fuel float sending unit. If that wire is bare and shorts out it will say you tank is empty since it works on resistance open or unplugged the gauge would read full, closed is or going to ground the gauge will read empty. I would think the float might be bad or the float arm got stuck down when you turned a sharp corner. I had one of these cars but I don't remember exactly where the fuel level sending unit is located and if you need to remove the fuel tank to gain access to the sending unit. I hope this helps you
