so i am having an issue with my car starting. i mistakeingly ran it out of gas the other day. i put a lil gas in it to make it to the gas station. it started right up. i started driving to the gas station. i made it about 100 yards past where i ran out of fuel and it started to spit and sputter. i tried to start it again and it wouldnt start so i thought my fuel pump went out. i checked the relay and luckily the relay was blown so i replaced it and it still will not start. i had a friend say something about priming the injectors and that its a pain. i have read a couple other threads on here and i was wondering if it could be my opti.

any help would be great, thanks

 

The pump is cooled by the fuel, so it is entirely possible that you burned up the pump. A couple of things to try:
When you turn the key on, do you hear the pump start up for a few seconds and then turn off?
Get a fuel pressure gauge and install it on the schrader valve at the back of the fuel rail. You should get ~40 psi when you first turn the key on.

 

Yes i hear the pump. I will try the pressure gauge on the shrader valve. Thank you.
