I have a 1998 Plymouth Voyager. The low fuel light goes on intermittently and the engine starts to lose power and then the light goes off and power resumes. The mechanic checked the fuel pump and a sensor plug for the gas tank and there seems to be nothing wrong. I poured a bottle of heat in the gas tank and that alleviated the problem for a few days only.  Any suggestions to what is wrong?

My 1999 Voyager was doing a similar thing, no one could tell me what was wrong until I took it to the Plymouth dealership, they said it was the emission sensor. They changed it and the problems stopped. You can also try unhooking the positive connection to the battery for 10 minutes and re connecting it, to reset the battery.

Also check or change your gas cap. A bad sealing gas cap can cause the same problem.

Yes people, you all have valid answers, but there is another situation.  I had a 1988 Voyager and still drive my 91 (Caravan).  They really need new fuel filters which are pressurized and clamp to the unibody frame rail beneath the vehicle.  The clue is that the Heet product alleviated the condition temporarily.

Your van is controlled by many sensors that give readings back to the vehicles computer.  All it takes is something as simple as a fuel cap or a sensor seemingly not related to the fuel tank itself to tell the computer something is wrong and adversley affect your driving experience.

Re:  Battery answer. NEVER undue the positive terminal first!  ALWAYS take the negative off first. Just think what would happen if you bumped or touched some metal while the wrench was on the positive terminal. At the least you will get sparks. At the worst, some welding and/or battery damage. To install a battery, put the positive on first, then the negative.
