If you are not getting fuel that light will flash. It's probably overheating without the fuel to cool it. When you start out, after the car sits, all the crap in the tank will settle back out of the filter. Then, when you start the car and drive, the filter will slowly get clogged, again. This is good, because that junk is not going to your injectors or carburetor. But it's also bad, because it could cause an accident on the highway!! Fix it! I suppose you have a diesel? Change the fuel filters. Cars, nowadays, have a very high-micron filtering capacity and some will not even let sugar through. With this trashy gas and fuel they're selling, today, you cannot run forever on an original filter. Change em!! !!!PLEASE CLICK DISCUSSION TO VIEW OTHER ANSWERS!!!
