Tried to drive the Miata in to work today, and it suddenly died. AFRs went full lean, then it died. I was logging at the time, so I can post any log data.

No nothing obvious. It doesn't seem to be a lost sinc, since the count was 0 until after the afr went full lean.
This sounds stupid, but it might be just it of gas? It didn't sputter though. My empty mark might have moved after changing my gauge faces. I have a friend bringing me some gas

Oh man, I hope you gave him a hard time for that one. I feel lucky I was logging. I would have checked a bunch of other things first otherwise. Seeing the AFR go max lean in the log before any other events combined with a pump that was still priming was a strong indicator.

I cam fairly close to doing this in my NB. My NA only takes 9.5 galons when the pointer has gone past the empty line and is pointing at the top left corner of the E. The NB is out at the line... I was just a smidge above it when I filled up the first time and took almost a whole tank of gas...
