Best Answer

sure it will. no fuel= no start

get a can of starter fluid, spray some into air cleaner

try to start engine

if engine starts on that , you know you are not getting proper fuel

if it starts on starter fluid it will only run a very short time until fluid runs out

Only if the fuel pump isn't working.

Can fuel pump be working and stop car from starting from car running out of gas?

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.

Yes it could be the fuel pump. A worn pump will stick and can free up then stick again. I once took one out and hot wired it with my battery charger to see how it worked and it would run then stick and stop. So the answer is yes it could be intermittent
