Cranks and not turn over,you need fuel pressure, and you need to have spark at the sparkplugs,when you crank it do you hear the fuel pump humming at least?This is a good place to start crank it and listen for the fuel pump,you should at least hear it when you turn the key on
Check that area again that you used to tamper with to get it to start. If you already had an issue, then it is more likely that this issue has become worse over time. Check this first before continuing. It sounds like your fuel safety switch was faulty to begin with.
COULD BE FUEL PUMP,CHECK FUEL PUMP FUSE AND RELAY. LISTEN FOR FUEL PUMP OPERATION IN FUEL TANK WHEN YOU TURN IGNITION ON POSITION YOU SHOULD HEAR FUEL PUMP RUN FOR 3 SECONDS AND TURN OFF.
Do you have fuel pressure now since adding fuel? Maybe you did not run out of gas ......but just happened to run out of fuel pressure caused by a bad fuel pump at a low fuel level? Maybe you need a fuel pump.
turn on the switch, can you hear the fuel pump run?
if so checke the fuel filter,and also release the pressure at the shredder valve on the fuel rail
if you cant hear the pump run then then check the fuse for it if its good then youve got a bad pump!!!
