Put gas in it.

The pump will only run for one second each time you turn on the ignition switch so you will have to do that a few times to get fuel to the engine. You must turn the ignition switch all the way off, wait for about ten seconds, then turn it on again. You should also be able to hear the hum of the pump for that one second. If you can't it could be burned out. The motor is cooled by the fuel in the tank. Running it out can lead to destroying the pump but that is not real common on Chrysler products.
