Question
my 1995 s10 truck ran out of gas and when i put gas in it. it wouldnt start back
Test the fuel pressure at the injection rail with a fuel pressure tester.Thats the only way to verify there is enough pressure.If you have no pressure,its likely a faulty fuel pump.I have seen this happen on chevys when they run out of fuel and the pump is old.It is best to always keep the tank half full as the fuel cools the pump in the tank.Fuel pressure should be 45psi approx.
