Mine only happens after the "low fuel" indicator comes on. ??????????
Once I fill up the tank, it goes off.
The wifes goes off and on at random.
All have less than 10K, but more than 8K miles.

Wife's is going in for cylinder head replacement today.

f5stop? Any suggestions?

If there is a rough or rougher than usual idle with those codes, a new cylinder head is coming your way. However, if no idle and the light only comes on when the tank is real low, I might say it could be a fuel pump. Lack of fuel is causing a misfire, setting the code. Not a usual occurrence, but it could happen.
When the low fuel is on, what is your fill up in gallons? It could be your low fuel light is coming on too late, and you are about out of fuel and the pump is starving a bit.
