Masada pu ran out of gas will not only if i prime, for a few seconds

There is probably an inertia switch to cut the fuel supply in the event of a collision. You should find location details in the vehicle handbook.

Unlikely running the pump dry for a short time will damage it. The pump is submerged in the fuel tank and should require little or no priming as long as it is receiving a supply, which must be tested while cranking the engine. The system could be tested by providing the pump with an independent supply.

While replacing the fuel pump or fuel gauge unit it is wise to thoroughly examine the inside of the fuel tank with a safe light. All sorts of things are found inside fuel tanks.

The fuel filter should also be replaced and it is wise to carefully cut open the original to examine what dirt and rubbish is trapped inside.

If all is good but there is still no fuel delivery can be checked by disconnecting the fuel supply pipe at the engine with a jug at the ready. In good order a litre in a couple of seconds can be expected.

might of clogged filter also 2 gal might not be enough check for fuel pump noise also when you run these cars out of fuel the pump over heats and goes bad

You need to make sure you put in AT LEAST 2 gallons of gas, more if the car is not level. It might take a few cycles of the key to get the fuel line primed again. A full cycle is Off-On-Start. When you turn the key to on, listen for the fuel pump. It should run for a few seconds and then shut off, turn the key to start for a few seconds and then back to off... This will have to be repeated several times. You should be able to hear the fuel pump from the drivers seat. I will be a faint hum or hiss coming from the back seats.

You say you replaced the fuel pump relay switch? The fuel pump relay is located in the passenger compartment on the right side under the dash. Little black box with a 6 pin plug. Replace that and your power to the pump should be restored . Had this happen on mine just last week. The relay actually monitors the alternator, key switch and a couple of fuses and will remove power from the pump if there is a fault. AutoZone stock number is 20550, costs about $50.

try quick start to get it started. Alot of times when you run out of fuel the pump looses its prime. If you cant get it started you may of overheated the fuel pump by allowing it to run dry. Try smacking the gas tank hard a few times, this sometimes frees up the pump if its stuck.

Your fuel pump is in the tank. Turn on the ignition, and listen if you can hear the pump run in the tank. It will only run a few seconds if the engine is not running. You can repeat this several times to prime the fuel injection.

Your fuel pump has failed, when u run out of gas the electric fuel pump that is located inside the fuel tank get severly overheated and siezes up, the pump is cooled by the fuel it runs in..

Hello there:
If you have tried priming the fuel pump by turning on the key and listening for the fuel pump to be running if it is it may just need to be primed with a hand priming pump untill you get fuel
but if you still dont get any fuel i would check out the fuel filter to see if it is clogged and needs to be replaced
to locate the fuel pump and filter go under the drivers side and look at the frame of the vehical not quite half way back and you will see the fuel filter and just in front of this about 10 inches towards the engine will be the fuel pump ok>
best regards michael

The fuel filter is in the engine compartment, rear of passenger side.

You may have prime the pump:
remove the gas cap, underhood, loosen a fuel connector, wrap the loosened connector with a shop rag to catch the fuel and crank the starter a few seconds, do not let the engine run. Check the rag for fuel, if gasoline has been delivered: Tighten the connector and fuel tank cap, properly dispose of the rag.

Cheapest route is your fuel filter...you might have gunked it up! Try replacing your filter first.
