09 Yaris No Start

[JEducate]

Over the winter, my car's gas gauge was going back and forth to one bar to two bars left. It ended up stalling. Then, about a month ago, it said there was two bars left, and it stalled. I was hoping that it would be just frozen pipes. We have had a few warm days. I had to fill up my tank because it was stuck on three bars from the bottom. It will show it being filled up, but will stop at the third line. I read that it could be the indicators could be dirty. Any suggestions? Can I fix it myself, or do I have to go to a mechanic?

That would be a a bit if a threadjack, as your post is completely unrelated to that of the O.P. Typically when a gas gauge does that it is due to the resistive strip for the fuel level sender either being dirty or being worn. You can try adding fuel system cleaner to the tank, but if that doesn't help, then you are looking at having to have the sender removed and replaced.
