Car started to hesitate before starting. Sometimes it would take several seconds of cranking before it would start. This went on a few weeks until I ran out of gas. After runing out of gas the car would start at all. Found out the fuel pump was damaged and had it replaced. Car ran fine now for about three months. This am it wouldn't start. I listen for the characteristic buzz before turning key to the full start position and all seems normal. Everything seems the same as always but it wont start. Is there a way to start it? I am trying to avoid a tow bill.

Do you have a constant check engine light On or has flashed and disappeared?

Last major tune-up? And what was replaced and type of adjustment?

I recommend you perform a fuel pressure check with a pressure gauge calibrated for your fuel system and comeback with the readings this is where we start
