I have gotten gas then I was turning onto another road this morning when the fuel cut off light came on and then shortly after the check engine light came on. The car didn't shut off, but made it to work and that's at least a 12 mile drive, have no idea why the lights are on , can u help?

If the check engine light ended up coming on, then we need to start with checking for codes as that will give us a better idea where to start. Here is a guide that will help with this:

However, this is most likely due to a fuel pressure issue, so we need to start with checking the fuel pressure after we check the codes.

I am attaching the info below on how to test the fuel pressure for this vehicle.

Please let me know what questions you have, and we can go from there. Thanks
