Computer problem
1997 Oldsmobile Silhouette 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

I have drove my van all day and no problems but
my husband replaced the fuel door with a new
one because the old one was sprung and then
it wouldn't start it acts like it is out of gas but it
isn't. what could be the problem?
