I went to start my car in the morning and it would turn over but it will not fire. Also the fuel gauge shows as empty but the tank has 8-10 gal of gas. I tried to check if the fuel pump was getting voltage, I did not detect any but I may not have had a good test. I replaced the fuel pump relay with no effect. What are the other poss causes and ways to check/repair. Sometimes when giving it gas it would hesitate a little and then go. Thanks for the help.

When it refuses to start check for spark and fuel, then comeback.

No it has nothing to with fuel level-you need cranking speed, compression, fuel and ignition to get an engine to start.
