It may be possible that when you ran out of gas that your fuel filter now my be clogged. 3 Things to start car...1) air....2)fuel....3)spark

crank pos. sensor or maf sensor ck. the fuel press reg. also

Unfortunately, yes. It's a pain. I own a 1991 Pontiac grand prix SE 3.1L.

My fuel pump problem started when I ran out of gas (gas gauge was offset) Of course it shuts off w/o gas but it will more likely kill your fuel pump and clog the $#!t out of your filter.

If it makes a buzzing sound under the vehicle w/o the engine running, near the trunk area, replace it along with the filter.

Change the crank position sensor

Get an auto technician to service the injector and never drive to ran out of gas or else you will damage the injector

If I'm understanding you correctly, you believe you got contaminated gas from a station where they had recent work done on their tanks. If that's so, Now that you've run most of the gas out I would start by changing the fuel filter then fill the tank with good gas (I might even go up on grade for this tank). Although it's unlikely you may have gotten a fair amount of dirt or water, you may want to try adding some dry gas in case there is still water in the bottom of your tank.
If the new filter seems to clear the problem but it come back after a short while you'll need to take the tank off and flush it. If you do it yourself don't dump the gas on the ground. If you have to flush your tank you'll need to flush the gas lines and replace the fuel filter again.

check the gas cap. there is a sensor somewhere in the gas tank that knows when the gas cap is loose or has a defective seal.

I ran into this once also, and I remember that I just disconnected the battery for about half an hour.

Try that if you haven't already.
