My Miata says it’s misfiring.
I notice nothing at all in how it drives. I’ve gotten the CEL 3 times, all at the end of a tank of gas. What about a low tank of gas could cause a misfire? Bad fuel pump or clogged fuel filter?
Is there a chance this is a red herring, and that it’s an other issue that shows up every few hundred miles, which happens to coincide with a tank of gas?
What y'all think?

Sounds like its fuel pressure. Is the cylinder misfire on the same cylinder each time? Do you have an OBDII logger?

Don’t know, and no. I thought it was plugs and wires, as they were the one thing I hadn’t gotten around to yet on the car. Then I noticed the fuel level correlation. So I wasn’t logging the cylinder it was.

You should get a cheap bluetooth dongle and torque app. It will log which cylinder is misfiring. If its the same one, then its either electrical or a dying injector. If its random then its fuel pressure. Some ECU’s actually report fuel pressure, but it has to be a relatively modern vehicle.
