SOURCE: 96 grand am won't start!

I just went thru a similar problem. When I changed my fuel filter the problem stopped. I can't say that it is the exact solution for your problem. But it is a cheap fix if it is. You can remove the old one and tell before you buy a new one. The filter is located in fron of the gas tank. It comes off easily. If its clogged then replace it. ( I recommend replacing it evey year anyways). There are a few other possible problems that it could be. I hope this helps

Sounds like air in fuel line. Purge fuel line. By "crank", do you mean engine spins but won't catch? Try starter fluid in intake.

I had the same problem. I ran a piece of hose through my filler line and opened a stuck back flow in the line. Then filled up my tank.

Hello I have a 2011 Volkswagen golf trendline 2.5L 5 cylinder manual transmission I ran out of gas and killed the battery trying to start it after I put about a quarter of a tank in it. I push started it...

I don't know if this will help you or not, but I've had several friends with Volkswagens & have run across this problem after they ran out of gas.
the fuel line ran close to the exhaust manifold & the gas would vaporize in the fuel line, causing a vapor lock in the line, starving the engine of fuel.
the fuel line had to be taken off at the carburetor & fuel sucked up through the line.
future problems were eliminated by rerouting the fuel line.

Chevy truck stalled on freeway after buying gas at a speedway station. Was it bad gas or fuel filter/fuel pump problem?

Good question. All you can do is hook a line up to the fuel rail to get some gas so you can inspect it. If the gas looks ok they you probably have either a fuel pump problem or ignition problem.

You never leave a car running, as it will
overheat the Exhaust Converter
When you run out of fuel, you sometimes
ruin the Fuel Pump
It depends on gas to lubricate it,as strange as it sounds
Check fuel pressure & volume at the motor with a gauge

Car ran out of gas is there a fuse or relay switch?

Dose the fuel pump work inside your fuel tank you should hear a sound it might help if you get a friend to listen where the tank is while you turn the key to on but do not go to start it, if there is a sound it's working next you want to check the fuel filter best to replace it

S430/102k, mi/ Wouldn't start. Told to put car in neutural and 'rock it' 'Rocked' car, put it in park and car started and 'check engine light lit'Prior to the no start, wife...

Car not starting or turning over indicates towards multiple possibilities. It can be issue with battery or weak battery. But if battery checks out ok, then it can be starter issue or faulty alternator or problem with low fuel pressure or no spark at spark plugs due to dirty spark plugs or faulty ignition coil or injectors getting cracked or dirty and needs to be cleaned.


To confirm the problem, the basic troubleshooting is required.

Ran out of gas. vehicle started, ran, drove home,

the fuel pump runs for 5 seconds when you turn key to ON. It runs all the time whie cranking and after engine starts.

Spray some starting fluid into throttle body & see if it starts then. If yes, pump may be bad. Can you hear pump run in fuel tank?

Car stalled and won't start again

Sounds like it might be either the fuel filter or the fuel pump, cause if you ran the tank down, you probably had sludge in the bottom of the tank that you sucked into the engine, you can try using a fuel system cleaner, you may have sucked sludge into the injectors running it, Zmax sells a fuel system cleaner, or there is one called RUN RIGHT, I would try putting some of that in letting it sit a few min then after it sat a few to soak in and break down the sludge, then start the car up, kick your idle up to around 1500 RPM do not go higher then that cause you will damage the engine, try that and see if that works for you, if not then I is probably the fuel pump or filter.
hope this helps.
