Question
have problem starting my vehicle the tank was empty but it has gas now!

Answer
You either sucked up debris from the bottom of the gas tank and plugged the fuel filter at the bottom of the electric fuel pump in the gas tank or most likely burnt out the fuel pump.

Try this:

1. Remove the gas cap and have someone listen at the gas cap opening.

2. You, Turn the ignition switch to the ON position only to the point where all the dash lights illuminate. Do NOT try and start the engine.

3. As soon as you do step #2, the person at the gas cap opening should hear the gas pump in the gas tank buzz (run) for 2 seconds and then stop.

DOES it ?.
