you mean your fuel pump was working until you ran out of gas and now it doesn't work? yes, if you have an electric in-tank fuel pump, you need a new one. fuel pumps in the tank require lubrication to prevent them from overheating, and the fuel in your tank keeps the fuel pump "wet". when you run out of gas, you run it "dry" and will destroy the fuel pump.

Why is your 1989 Mitsubishi magna doesn't seem to be getting fuel?
Is your fuel pump running? Turn the ignition on without starting the engine. You should hear the pump run for a few seconds. If not, then check the fuel pump fuse and relay. If it is running and no fuel, replace the fuel filter. If the fuse and relay are good, and the pump is not running, the pump is bad.

The fuel pump may be running but it may not put out enough fuel pressure. Have the fuel pressure tested. I am assuming the fuel filter has been changed.

New fuel pump still no fuel?
Is the fuel pump actually running. Turn the ignition to the on position without starting the engine and you should hear the pump run for a few seconds. If you do not check the fuel pump fuse and fuel pump relay. If they are both good replace the fuel filter as it may be clogged. Lastly, it is possible that new fuel pump is defective.Is the fuel pump actually running.

Is my fuel pump working?
Um, is your car running? If so, the pump is working. If you pick up a Haynes or Chilton manual for the car, you will find specific tests on all parts of the fuel system. FriPilot
How do you check to see if the fuel pump is working on your 1983 Cadillac sedan deville?
Get a helper to turn on the ignition without starting the engine. At the same time you listen at the fuel filler door with the fuel cap off. You should hear the pump run for a few seconds and then shut down. If you do not hear the pump check the fuel pump fuse and fuel pump relay. If they are good the pump is defective. If the pump runs and you are not getting fuel to the engine either the fuel filter is clogged or the pump is running but not pumping fuel. Replace the fuel filter and proceed from there.

2004 GMC Sonoma won't start appears to be a fuel issue Can anyone give me a starting place?
If you think it is a fuel issue, make sure the fuel pump is running. Turn on the ignition key and do not start the engine. If you listen very carefully in a quiet area, you should hear the pump run for a few seconds. If it is running then replace the fuel filter first. If it is not running, replace the fuel filter and check the fuel pump fuse and relay. In rare instances, the ECU can be bad and cause the pump to not function. You may end up having to run a fuel pressure test to see if the pump is working properly. Good luck/.
