you have to vent the air in the injection pump crack the injector pipes and crank the engine till fuel come out then re secure the pipes it will start then
To review - - the fuel pump in the tank pumps fuel to the injectors. There is a fuel shut-off which works in a wreck to prevent a fire. If the plunger is down, the switch is on. Normal.
It is possible the fuel lines are full of air which would take a long time to purge by cranking the engine. Sometimes you have to use starting fluid or other means to "run" the engine long enough to get gas back into the injectors. As long as the engine cranks, the battery is fine. It is also possible the pump was damaged when the tank was run empty. The pump uses liquid fuel to cool and lubricate the electric pump. It can overheat when running the tank below 1/4 full. It is also possible the fuel filter was clogged with junk from the bottom of the tank. I would get someone to check for fuel pressure at the injectors and try some carb cleaner or starting fluid in the intake hose next.
Sometimes the check engine light will come on if the fuel cap is not on tight enough. Check the fuel cap for an intact seal and install at correct tightness.
A major auto parts store will read out the stored trouble code in the car's computer for free. If the code pertains to the fuel EVAP system, the code probably set because you ran out of gas. Copy down the code and then have it erased. The check engine light should go out. If it comes on again, have the code read and the problem checked out.
Are you sure it ran out of gas? Check fuel pressure. these are famous for breaking the timing belt. Does it sound normal when cranking? If not, check and make sure the cam is turning, if not. you have a broken timing belt and bent valves.
