im low, but ive driven with it even lower than what it is now before. my car was on a slight decline, maybe it was that and the low gas.
im going to check my battery, and replace the rotor and cap soon. its due time anyway.

Mine does it when I'm low on gas and the car has been sitting for over an hour or so. Just turn the key to the II (run) position, wait 2 seconds, then try to start the car and it should start like normal. The fuel pump just needs time to get the fuel flowing.
