My wife has a 1999 ford contor lx 2.0l the car seems to stall out when climbing hills and when the fuel tank get close to a quarter tank of gas it only does this sometime it will stall completely you have to kill it let it set 10 minutes then it runs fine when the gas tank is full doesnt seem to doo it.I change the fuel filter it lasted about a day but it still continues to stall at times most ly when the tank gets low is there a filter in the tank also

Unless I mis-understood you,

There is somthing radically wrong with that. Codes ALWAYS set when the CEL comes on. Start by getting them rechecked. You need a code checker or a scanner to get them out.
