2007 Lotus Exige S

Well I finally got back home and had some time to diagnose. After changing plugs it was pretty easy to tell it was out of gas, I could hear the fuel pump make a different sound after a few seconds. Hadn't filled it up yet and previous owner didn't bother to tell me the gas gauge didn't work. Plus he said he filled it up before delivery and I had only driven 50 miles, no reason to think the gas gauge wouldn't still read full since it's a few gallons larger than stock capacity. Now I have to figure out what else he didn't bother to tell me.

I'm going to track my mileage to determine if I really ran through an entire tank or if he just lied and didn't fill it up at all.

At least I found out two things about the car, it has the 48 liter tank and not the 54 liter I thought it did. Also tested compression, 224, 223, 218, 220, at least I can be happy about that.
