    And I suggest getting in the habit of keeping more fuel in the tank....
    The fuel cools the pump....prolonging its life....running a car with less than a gallon of fuel in the tank means thecpump is not submerged....so not getting cooled....
    Maybe you will get lucky and the pump just Sucked up some air resulting in low psi...resulting in a misfire that will not reoccur.....

    With running that low on fuel anything is possible once. I never go below a 1/4 tank.

    Run it for a few fuel fills and see if it happens again.

    Fill the tank and scan for codes.

    After running the codes, the mechanic found just one: P1125, Throttle Body Plausibility. It was a one-time occurrence and the guy drove the car about 40 miles without any issues. What do you think?
