possibly but it also could be mass air flow sensor,a fuel pressure problem ,faulty plug wires or even just a cracked dist.cap.
I would stop by a parts store ,Auto Zone or Advance will read the trouble codes for free. There are too many things that could be at fault.The code will give you a clue.If there are no codes(doubtful) suspect a fuel delivery problem.
Sounds like the oil pump has given out or the pick up screen could be clogged up. You will lock up the engine if you try to run it this way. Have the oil pump checked as well as the pick up screen.
can check these codes (if any) by jumping the A and B terminals at the diagnostic port under dash with key in on position engine light will flash and have to count flashes also sounds like it may have an air bound fuel system
When you ran out of gas, the pump probably pucked up crud from the bottom of tge tank and clogged the fuel filter - it's not uncommon. I'd change the fuel filter, and pick up a can of Seafoam (Walmart or any auto parts store). The next time you fill up, pour the Seafoam into the tank and fill up on top of it. That'll help clean the lines, tank, and injectors. Then you should be good to go.
If it ran out of gas you'll need to purge the air out of the fuel line. Chances are also good that you pulled some sediment off the tank bottom and clogged the filter. If that's the case you'll need to replace the filter.
