You mean it will turn/crank over, but wont fire.

Check for spark, most likely cause would be crank or cam angle sensor faulty.

Have you checked for obd codes? Is the check engine light illuminated?

My 2001 sunfire ran out of gas now it wont start

Smack the bottom of the gas tank a couple of times while someone tries to start it. If it starts then your pump is old and tired. Time for a new one.

2001 Pontiac Sunfire ran out of gas now won't start. Tried changing the fuel filter, and cycling the key several times, can hear the fuel pump running. Also could get to start with spraying fuel into air...

The fuel in the fuel tank also cools the pump during operation. The pump could have heated up internally, causing it to fail. I would recommend checking the fuel pressure with a gauge and be sure the fuel system is pressurized and not low. A fuel pump can still run and be heard, but at the same time, it also may not provide enough critical pressure to the fuel rail and injectors.

2001 Pontiac Sunfire automatic engine may start

You might want to have it checked to see if you have fuel pressure or see if there is spark going thru to your spark plug.If everything is ok it might be your timing belt needs replacing

Look for the crash sensor that shuts off the fuel pump, usually located in a hard to reach spot in the trunk, push to reset it. Check your owners manual, it will tell you where if you can't locate it by sight.
