Replace fuel filter. when you ran out of fuel you picked up water in the bottom of the tank. Turn the ignition switch on and off several times to prime the injectors before trying to start. The water in the tank may have damaged the fuel pump. Do not damage the starter. If it does not start right away, riding the starter is not going to help matters. Investigate the fuel problem.
If I am understanding you this is van conversion? From what your saying that it is doing I suggest you have the Mass Air Sensor replaced AKA MAS replaced. Hope this helps it is a common problem with chevy
i think its in the back under a plastic side compartment -its no big deal its just a little 12v air pump for the shocks in back if you wanted to u coul by pass it and get some plastic fittings from pep boys and put air in manualy like u would a tire - i have a 98 transport it has been a real pain with tailghts burning out front turn signals burning out and one day the wife brought it in all jacked up and the pump wouldnt shut off it was a cheap plastic arm under the van broke off the axle nothing but a simple on off swtch i duck taped to the axle -fixed 1 month later the motor blew up started to get hot head gasket or somthing - now im trying to get a 2003 just regular montana on the road everything works runs good but cant get the odometer to stay on im thinking about just lookin around for some "hot" inspection stickers when this goes ill never own another gm van -i think ill go japanese or somthin these things are just plain cheap junk
Sounds like you need a new fuel filter or a new fuel pump.
Replace the fuel filter first and see if that resolves the problem.
If not than it is the fuel pump.
To check to see if it is a fuel related issues you can look on the fuel rail that is on the top of the engine and connects to the injectors. There is a plastic cap on the pressure check vavle (looks like the air valve on a bicycle tire) unscrew the cap and press the valve stem inside. If gas shoots out with good pressure than it is not a fuel problem..if it trickles out...it is.
Do this after trying to start the van a few times..but without the van running..wear eye protection.
