Is the engine seized? Oil in the crankcase?

SOURCE: Ran out of gas and now she won't run!

i would say that you have a bad fuel pump or if you have a carb on it the float inside the carb is stuck check these and i'm sure you will find it's one of these.

You need to have your engine flushed and cleaned out. One or more of your spark plugs aint firing. You need to replace them all to include the wires as well. If you dont get your engine flushed, you could blow your engine up.

SOURCE: car acts like its out of gas but has full tank

i believe you have a faulty fuel pump relay and/or fuel filter. try filter first it's cheaper

Check the fuel filter, you may have clogged it when you filled the tank.

Okay I have a pull start generator I've used it for about 4 to 6 hours a day for the last 2 week now all the sudden it won't start it ran outta gas and I put more gas in it put oil in it and it wont start...

Hi Tina:
Here are a couple of ideas.
- When you put oil in it, was it really low on oil, and, how much did you add? Make sure that the oil level is where it's supposed to be on the dipstick. Too much oil is not good.
- When you run out of gas, sometimes you need to prime the engine to get it to start (after you've filled the gas tank). Do you know that gas is getting into the carbueretor?
- Do you know that you have spark? Pull the plug(s) and make sure they are in good condition and not wet with gas).
- Do you know that the fuel you got was clean?
Hope these ideas help.

2000 MAZDA MPV TURNS OVER BUT WONT START. RAN FINE YESTERDAY. GOT IT TO START TODAY AFTER HOLDING GAS PEDAL DOWN BUT NOW ITS PUTTING OUT.

Sounds like you possibly got bad gas, or your at the bottom level of your gas tank and got the nasty stuff. Try running a good fuel treatment through the system and fill it up with premium gasoline from Marathon

Ran out gas put gas in it still wont start

If you run out of gas in this truck it will quickly destroy a fuel pump, the electric pump is located inside the gas tank, it is tiny and to do its job it uses the gasoline it is immersed in for cooling, if you run the tank below 1/8 tank level the pump is going to run hot, if you run out of gas the pumps rotor bearings get very hot and if the pump gets hot enough the rotor seizes up. Also when you run out of gas it takes more than 1 gallon to get the pump to prime again, 3 gallons minimum is the least amount. The bottom line here is that you will more than likely need to pull the fuel tank and replace the fuel pump.

Ran out of gas, now wont start

if it was out of gas completely, after filling with at least 5 gal, turn key on, without starting. You will hear pump come on. After pump stops, turn key off. Repeat this procedure three times an the engine should start after the third time.

Let me know,

Engine wont stay running. Please help.

change the filter first. IF the pumpwas bad it wouldnt start at all. It could be going bad but the only way to really test it is to pull your gas tank and at that rate you may as well replace it.

you could have a clogged injector causing the lack of fuel as well. you can try injector cleaner, Lucas is my personal preference I use it at every fill-up. 4-6oz per tank of gas depending on your tank size.
