If the car sounds like it wants to run, but wont stay running, and wont get up to the standard idle speed, you may have a bad camshaft sensor. The dealership will call it a crankshaft sensor, but it is located on the back of the intake cam. It looks like the bottom half of a distributer. What it does is tell the ECU when to send a spark to each cylinder. When my timing belt broke, it took that sensor out with it. That could be your problem. Dont buy a new one if you can find a used one. They cost over 300 dollars new.

Your 1999 dodge stratus ran out of gas and when you put more in it would not start what could be wrong?

The fuel pump only runs for a couple seconds after the initial start attempt, then shuts off. Crank the engine for a few seconds. Then turn it off and then do it again for a few more seconds. Do this several times in order to get the fuel to the engine. After a few attempts, the engine should start.. Hope this helps...
