Engine Performance problem
1995 Geo Metro 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Manual 211k miles

Over night temperature outside was about 15. Started car in the morning no problem, ran for 10 minutes, then on my way to work about 2 minutes later I noticed the gas gauge dropped to empty (The night before I had 1/4 tank) and the lights dimmed, I gave it some gas the lights brightened again, I smelled a burning smell then it was gone and my gas gauge went back up to 1/4 tank and ran fine with no other incidents. The car never actually stalled, but it was just strange because it was almost like the car was running out of gas then it was fine.
