So ran fine for 2 days
id bet it didnt have only 1 gallon there.
or did you run it dry again.?
the pump is fuel lubricated and cooled
ran dry invites wrecking a good pump.

Did you fill up the tank or just put a little in? If there's not enough fuel, since it was ran out of gas, it MAY take more than just a gallon or two to get it to run

    we check engine compression on 90s cars
    G16s for sure
    if all 1/2spec, 80 not over160 psi
    the cam belt slipped
    if that is ok, checkspark x4
    ok but timing is way retarded cam belt slipped.
    ok test fuel starts engine each time for 3 seconds run time, (about)
    ok test fuel passes
    so rail pressure is what, 10psi
    30 normal
    so fuel filter packed.
    if no fuel rail that is A G16a engine,8v with one injector, the filter test port is only pressure test point, 6mm banjo bolt there.
    owned both cars, sold when suzuki bugged out
    best snow car or offroad car, in 2door form.

    all way, to not start.>

SOURCE: 1991 Mazda 626 DX dies suddenly after running for 10 minutes.

Hello, It sounds like an engine ignition control module gone out or a coil. They get hot and quit working after a short period of time, cool off then work again till they get hot.
Is the ignition system pointless electronic or does it have points? Are you getting any fire at all now to the cylinders? Does the tach in the vehicle show any RPM's during cranking? Do you have voltage at the positive side of the ignition coil? Does the coil meet the ohm ratings for that years vehicle ignition? Does the vehicle have oil in it so the oil pressure sensor allows the engine to run, this may not be an option on your particular vehicle? You can check most of this out with a volt/ohm meter. Check your voltages before starting the vehicle, during running and after it quits to see where the loss is. Just don't get near the center tap of the coil or you will get a rude awakening and/or serious injury. Good luck, RAC

When your replaced the pump did you replace the fuel filter? You may have a fuel pump relay causing you some grief. I believe it is located in the engine compartment in the fuse center on the left inner fender. Check the relay and any related fuses. Check the electrical connection at the pump. They had problems with some of them and they would get kind of hot and distort and corrode. They have new updated ones that can be easily installed.

SOURCE: ran out of gas-truck won't start-replaced fuel

you probably have air in the lines, if you have a carb, spray some quick start into the carb and turn it over, if it starts and then dies when the starting fluid has run out, you probably need a fuel pump, since the running of the car should have blown out any air that was in the line, If your car is fuel injected, loosen the bolt cap at the end of the injector line that supplies the fuel,, and tap the key once,, ( don't start it,, ) just turn the key on and off 3 or 4 times, this should blow fuel out of that loose bolt head, if it does your getting fuel, if not, back to the fuel pump, also you can check this link, http://www.aa1car.com/library/us1296.htm

SOURCE: ran out of gas, car wouldn't crank replaced fuel pump, fuel relay, and in line fuel filter and still won't crank on 2002 chevy avalanche

still won't crank ? how's your battery ? starter ? starter solonoid ? if your engine does'nt crank , its dead ! would'nt you check the battery first ? then move on with checking the starter circuit ? seems like your putting the cart before the horse ! first of all, when you run out of gas, you need to replace the FUEL FILTER, your engine just sucked the dirt, garbage, etc., out of the tank. there's plenty of sediment in the tank, don't know how it gets there, but, you'd be surprized ! talking threw experience !!! I operate heavy equipment, its a cardinal sin to run out of fuel !!! you say you replaced the inline filter, which one, up by the engine or the main filter, under vehicle along frame ? are we talking about the same animal, PLEASE CLARIFY !

1995 Geo Tracker manual gearbox. It ran fine, then one day it spit and died. Now it cranks but won't start?

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved to model category.

It may be fuel pump pressure, but you need to diagnose before guessing what might be wrong. A mobile auto electrician with a pro grade scan tool computer can diagnose all the electronic modules and sensors and tell you why?

There are some ideas here

2002 Ford Explorer ran out of gas put gas in and won't restart. replaced fuel pump and fuel filter still won't start. Cranks but won't start

Most Fords have a fuel reset button. When you ran out of gas you tripped the circuit. Most of the time the button will be on the passenger side by the kick panel. The exact location should be in your owners manual or your local library or auto parts store will have a copy of one for your specific vehicle.

Ran out gas it wouldnt after i put gas in it i replace the gas filter still nothing

your fuel pump has probably died. When you turn the key to the on position the pump should run for a few seconds then shut off. If it is not then check your fuses and fuel pump relay. Unfortunately the fuel pump uses the fuel as a lubricant, so when you run out of gas you can sieze the pump motor. some people get lucky by banging on the pump or fuel tank while trying to start the car, but really it's probably a dead pump. check for volts at the fuel pump plug while you crank the engine. Make sure your battery is fully charged and in good condition before trying to diagnose the problem.

If your pump is working then you have another problem.
