You may have plugged the filter. The fuel pump may have gone bad from the empty tank. You my have not ran out of gas, but assumed you did because the fuel pump quit.You may want to have the pressure tested.

My hhr ran out of gas, filled it, now it wont start at all.

Only Ford products have a Fuel Safety
Reset Switch & they only open in an
accident
Have it towed to a shop & diagnosed
Given the age & the fact you ran it out
of fuel,I would say the fuel pump needs
to be replaced

2000 MAZDA MPV TURNS OVER BUT WONT START. RAN FINE YESTERDAY. GOT IT TO START TODAY AFTER HOLDING GAS PEDAL DOWN BUT NOW ITS PUTTING OUT.

Sounds like you possibly got bad gas, or your at the bottom level of your gas tank and got the nasty stuff. Try running a good fuel treatment through the system and fill it up with premium gasoline from Marathon

My denali ran out of gas yesterday, I put almost 1/2 tank of gas in truck and it still doesn't start, I was told to check my fuses but I only see a relay that's related to the fuel pump, is there...

You should be able to hear the pump run only when the key is first turned on for a second or 2. I would say the fuel pump is out. this happens when you run the gas out it can prematurely wear out the pump impeller. If you can hear the pump fire up check the fuel pressure at the fuel rail. the pressure for most GMs should be at least 33lbs to 50lbs if it is below this pinch off the return fuel line and recheck pressure. if under you have a bad fuel pump.
Thanks for using FixYa Hope this helps you out

Doesn't start right away you have to keep your foot on gas

I would recommend a tune up new spark plugs wires and some new gas and a new fuel filter.If that helps how it runs change the oil and filter and check all the fluids.

Ran out of gas yesterdya and wont start today.

If you ran out of gas, then you will need to perform the following. Turn the key to the on position (do not start). Turn key off. Repeat the process a few more times. Also, have someone help you, for when you turn the key to on, you should be able to hear the fuel pump hum. After a few times, try starting the vehicle. Air has gotten trapped in the fuel injectors. By turning the key a few times, it primes the injectors. If it still will not start, or you cannot hear the fuel pump, then have it checked out. Hope that works. Let me know.

2003 Oldsmobile Silhouette ran out of gas,now it won't start HELP

Put the gas in the tank, let everything settle, turn key off, then back on to on position, but NOT start. Let the fuel relay engage the pump and draw some gas pressure. Give it a good minute and it'll start right up.

Tried to start my 1998 Gd. Cherokee Lmtd. but it seems doesn´t pump gas

Hi, you should start by checking all your fuses,if they are all good ,check fuel pump relay, if this is ok , check fuel filter, if filteris good ,you should run a fuel presure text, this will determine if your fuel pump is ok, good luck.......
