When you ran it out of gas you may have ruined the fuel pump. They are very touchy. you can check it by having someone listen under the car by the fuel tank and you turn the key to the on position, be sure not to try and start it. When you turn the key to the on position you should hear the pump prime its self. If you dont the pump is bad if you do then you might look into the fuel filter it may have gotten clogged when it ran out of gas.

it sounds like you plugged your injecters put some STP gas treatment with injecter cleaner into the gas tank with at least a half a tank of gas and then finish filling it up and if this helps also replace the fuel filter

could be a bad ground wire to the battiery or possitive cable
