if u run out of fuel all u have to do is fill it up. turn the ignition to the on position (don't start it). give the fuel pump about 5 secs or so to repressurize the fuel line then crank it. it should start right up. if ur car is not starting up, something else is wrong with it. sometimes i pull my fuel pump fuse out when i park my car in a area where i don't trust it. and most times i start it without putting it in cause i forget and it cuts off. i just put the fuse back in and do what i told u to do and it starts right up.

You might have burned up the fuel pump motor. Since most fuel pumps are intank, they use the fuel to cool it or else it overheats. Running the car dry, may have caused it to fail.. I'd pull it and make sure its working properly.

Thanks Fellas! I'll look into it this evening, I'm guessing the fuel pump is shot because everytime I attempt to start it, it boggles and backfires through the air intake.

I think you have to remove the seat bottom or seat rear to get to it (rear seats).

fuel pump is under rear seat. there is a cover to it.

disconnect the connectors and fuel tubes.

I was able to locate the problem. Filthy fuel injectors. I bought some starting fluid and some fuel inj., sprayed it in the intake, waited about :30 seconds and then started the damn thing. At first it boggled but I kept the accelarator all the way down. I was a happy camper there after. Major tune-up underway this weekend, thanks everyone.
