When the car gets low on gas, I usually dont fill up. After running the car for about 5 miles, it starts to run rough. Same problem after being on the expressway, runs great but when you get off and the van slows for a light, it dies. This happens about three times in a row, then the car runs fine. No check engine light, nothing just dies sometimes in the middle of a turn. Could this be as simple as a bad gas cap or something more expense as a oxgen sensor or fuel pump ? Also it does not happen everyday - Thanks

Hi:
I would think an O2 sensor would turn on the engine light. I would start by having the fuel pressure tested.

Let me know what you find.
