First thing you need to do is fill it up with about 10 gallons of gas and then locate the fuel reset button. This is going to be a button that you will have to find the location of in your manual. This is a safety feature for the car when it runs out of fuel. It will keep the gas from getting to the engine until it is pushed and reset.

You ruined the fuel pump
It needs fuel to lube & cool it

Only Ford products have a Fuel Safety
Reset Switch & they only open in an
accident
Have it towed to a shop & diagnosed
Given the age & the fact you ran it out
of fuel,I would say the fuel pump needs
to be replaced

Some cars will have an emergency fuel door release in the trunk it will be on the side of your fuel door

Could be that somebody tried to pry open and damaged the door removing your fuel

InInside the drivers door in the back of the storage compartment is the switch to open the fuel door.

try testing/replacing the coil. if it stalles after the car warms up that gives the coild time to over heat and die.

Hello and thank you for using FixYa

The most common thing is that the fuel door is bent. This normally happens from opening the door to far or slamming it. You can try to manually bend it around to try to straighten it. If that does not work, then the gas door will need to be replaced and painted to match you car.

Thanks Jay!

first make sure theirs enough gas in the car now, about 5 gallons. next open the gas door, then the cap. next put your ear to the open fule filler neck. then have someone put the key in the "on" position so teh dash lights up and all, but dont start. this should trigger the pump to start, if you can hear a buzz then the pumps on and working, if not the pump is dead.if this is the case just be sure by checking the fuses to confirm. only way to get to the pump is drop the tank. also dropping the rear exhaust helps too.

Is the fuel pump coming on? most of the time you can hear it kick on when you turn the key on. It will make a short low whinig noise. you may have to leave the door open or window down to hear If not its possible you may have a bad fuel pump or, fuel pump relay,
