95 Pontiac grand am will turn over but not start after running out of gas?

Answer 1

If a car will turn but not fire/stay running after it runs out of gas completly. This could have caused a few things to break such as the fuel pump/sending unit. Also might just be a clogged fuel filter. When you run out of gas you suck everything such as rust and dirt through the lines and filter which can clog it. First thing i would try is to turn the key to on but not start it and stick your head by the gas tank and try to see if you can hear the pump run. (it will sound like a little electric motor running) if you hear that then try to discnnect the fuel line at the motor and turn the key to start and see if you get fuel. If you get fuel then it is a spark problem after that.
