Fuel problem 1998 cadillac deville

Hi...

My wife ran out of gas. I added about 4 gallons and the car won't start. I'm thinking maybe gunk from the bottom of the gas tank clogged with fuel lines. I also don't hear the fuel pump turn on. Could the lack of gas ruin the fuel pump? How to I change it or clean out the lines? Please reply to my email banning@suddenlink.net. Thank you.

I read somewhere that the fuel pump is lubricated by the Gasoline.It warned to never run out of gas with these Cadillacs.It may need a new fuel filter now.

The junk may have collected in your fuel filter?

Someone posted they had there fuel pump quit after running out of gas 3 weeks later. Try disconnecting your battery for 10 minutes first to see if it is actually the Anti-theft system.

Actually it is a theft system problem. the car is acting as if it were stolen and was ran until it was out of gas. the system just needs to be cleared and the car will start right up.

Someone sugared my gas tank. i have a chrysler 300 m. i flushed the gas tank and now its sitting in my yard. I never turned the key over at all. I noticed it right away. How long do i have to wait for it...
First off it is a myth that sugar will destroy an engine. Sugar will not dissolve in gasoline. Depending on how much sugar was added it could clog the fuel pump sock filter. You have drained the tank, so add 5 gallons of fuel to the tank and start the engine. It will do no harm whatsoever. You may have to change the fuel filter a few times if the sugar clogs it but otherwise no harm will be done.

I ran out of gas I put 2 gallons in but the car won't start. It will tunr over, the lights come on, but the car won't start. Do you think I need to keep cranking it and add a can of starting spray...
sounds like when you ran out of gas, you clogged your fuel filter. Change your fuel filter and put a little bit more gas in it and she should fire right up. Hope this helps, James Booth. :)

My 2001 L Series Saturn ran out of gas, then after 1 gallon of gas was added to the tank, the engine would not turn over. Any suggestions for how to get it to start?
the fact that it won`t turn over is just a coincedent it happened when you ran out of gas.i`m assuming that you mean the motor won`t turn over at all and not that you mean it will turn over and not start.if it is the latter then the fuel needs time to fill the lines and pressurize the fuel system while cranking over.

2003 Dodge Neon SXT. Car ran out of fuel...put 5 gallons of gas in...car won't start, even after jumping. Advice?
One thing to try is to swap out the fuel filter, as it might have sucked up some gunk out of the bottom of your tank when you ran it dry.

Completely ran out of gas. Got a gallon or 2 in. Tried to start the car but it is not starting. What should I do?
You could check the fuel filter. If the tank was run dry, some sediment and any water in the bottom of the tank may have clogged the filter. Hope this helps and good luck.

1987 IROC, Ran out of gas,put gas in, now service engine light on
if you have high milieage you may have sucked in the gunk on the botton of your tank when you ran out of fuel check if you can hear the fuel pump running for about 2 sec with key on engine off if you hear nothing the problem is with your pump as they will burn out if they run dry for too long,if you hear the pump check for fuel pressure if pressure low check fuel filter to see if clogged by gunk from bottom of tank.

If the car has over 100,000 miles on it, you may need to replace the distributer. I don't think the bad gas caused this issue I think it may just be a coincdence. But if you already changed the plugs, wires, distributor cap, and rotor, I would definetly check the distributor.
