I RAN OUT OF GAS ONE DAY IN MY 1984 F-150 AND IT HAS RUN VERY BAD BAD BAD SINCE. I CAN'T EVEN KEEP IT RUNNING HALF THE TIME. WHAT HAPPENED TO IT?

Quit trying to play auto mechanic an take it to a qualified repair shop . Tight wad

possible loose, bad or broken electrical contact that is cutting off current to vital part of the engine.

I think you damaged the fuel pump by letting it run dry. It needs gas to keep it cool. But check fuel pressure. If you have low or no fuel pressure, you'll need a new pump. Figure around $800...pretty high price to pay for letting it run low on gas

Its your Throttle body going bad.. $400.00 at dealership

25miles. is an est. 1 gallon of gas in tank dont run it that low that miles to empty is an estamate.

This sounds like the fuelpump is bad, it may have been on its way out or when you ran out of gas it sucked up all the dirt at the bottom of the gas tank. it sounds like the pump cant produce the correct amout of pressure needed to keep the engine running. if you have a fuel pressure gauge you can test the pressure and know for sure its a bad fuelpump. you would connect the gauge to the valve on the fuel rail and then turn the ignition on and there should be 55psi of pressure. if the pressure is lower by more than 4psi or no pressure then replace the pump which is located inside the gas tank. i think you will find that the fuel pump is bad. good day. hope this is helpful.

Hi there ,you have something blocking your fuel filter and it sounds like sugar to me ,your cars symtoms are exactly what mine were after a cruel practical joke by a jealous ex ,what happens is the sugar doesnt dissolve in petrol so it ends up in the filter ,it can settle when you stop the car allowing it run again for a short time ,remove the filter and clean it out until it blocks again and repeat this until its all gone .THANK YOU USING FIX YA

sounds like it might have varnished gas in the system. I would change the fuel filter, clean out the lines with a good carb/fuel injector cleaner and fill the tank with fresh gas. I will run a little rough until the bad gas is run out. If this dont correct the problem then it might be in the fuel pump or fuel regulator areas.

i think the pipe from the pump to the sender outlet pipe in teh tank has perished

yes bad ecu. exat same thing happened to a freind of mine he replaced maf, coolant sensor, distributor all that came trough check engine light. and still the same and chugged gas like crazy and fans were o always. i swapped his ecu with mine n car ran perfect. so he got new ecu and here he is driving happily to this day.

it was a 96 galant 2.4 sohc with around 75,000 miles.

good luck
