How do you get diesel out of gas engine if it didnt get started with it in there just cranked it over a few times and then it sat a week or two in cold.. it was only 2gallons but put in empty tank?

You can do this a couple ways. One, take off gas tank and drain out the incorrect fuel, reassemble and refill. Two, use the fuel pump to purge the system ahead of the pump, by unhooking the pressure line or opening the schrader valve at the fuel rail, and cycling the pump till it's clear of diesel. This will spill significant fuel so be careful. Then, put some gas in the tank, cycle the pump again with the valve open, till you have clear gas coming out, then close it up and the car should start. It may run rough for a while till all the diesel is out. Fill the tank full of gas immediately.

How is a gasoline engine different from a diesel engine?
A gas engine ignites gasoline in the piston chamber with a spark from a spark plug. The expanding gas then pushes the piston out and the motor moves forward. A diesel engine uses diesel fuel, different from gasoline, and the fuel is compressed by the piston until it ignites, sending the piston out. There are no spark plugs in a a diesel engine. Some diesel engines will have "glow plugs" which are used to initially start the engine but once started, compressing the fuel is the method of ignition.
