The vehicle in question ran out of gas and then had an `emergency fuel` added which indicated not to let the engine cool down before getting more gas in the tank. More gas was not added and then the car sat overnight, I have added some gasoline but the car now will not start.

Everything sounds like its running but there is no turn over. I have tried a few times with quick start spray which will run the engine for a few seconds before it cutting out again. I was hoping this would allow the emergency fuel to cycle through the system and get some of the gasoline in to run the car but it does not seem to be working.

I would greatly appreciate any information you can provide that may help with my issue.

Regards,

What sometimes happens when a car is run out of gas is that it causes the fuel pump to go out becasue it was run dry. Do you hear the pump running? If not then we can speculate the pump is out. To be sure you can test the power wire (blue and black) at the pump or circuit open relay using a test light and if power is present the pump is bad and needs replacement.

Here is a wiring diagrams and some guides to help you get the problem figured out and fixed.

You are luck your car has a trap door to get to the pump under the back seat so you don't need to drop the tank.
Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know what happens.
