2001 Protege issues
Hey guy, I am at my witts end with this car, it has an issue where the car car gets low in fuel (about 1/4 tank left) and it behaves like it has completely run out. We have changed the tank, a new fuel pump and a new fuel assembly and it still does the same thing. and yes the car has fuel in it. If i put gas in the car it works like there is no issue at all. I am at a full lost.

What i might try and do is to put a long screwdriver on the top of each fuel injector and check if they are consistency on each one in each condition (full/low fuel). Also it might be the computer's fault, or the emissions system. I hope i can help. If you have any other questions let me know, and give as much information as you can lets try and get you to a full win!

That might work, coincidentally, I had filled my 90' protégé's tank and I had noticed it had been more difficult to start than before until I got gas last night and I took the gas cap off to hear a long swoosh noise and air being sucked into the fill tube, good idea

No, it does turn on randomly if I start it after a had driven it for a while and its warmed up, and it either goes away after I get into 2nd gear or in a few seconds, its short lived and only when im driving so its a little odd lol but its off most often.

Was there a resolution on this? I had a Toyota Avalon that had a similarish problem that went away on its own. It dawned on me after the problem had stopped that it might be a venting issue. Never did get a chance to loosen the gas cap to see if that resolved the problem. That still bugs me!
