Good question. All you can do is hook a line up to the fuel rail to get some gas so you can inspect it. If the gas looks ok they you probably have either a fuel pump problem or ignition problem.
false economy that.....
the pump is fuel cooled and Lubricated,
running it dry, wrecks the pump. (at the least lost the prime)
this car is no like an old carb car ,where this is ok.
if lucky key on and off 10 times, and hear the pump, it you hear it run.
it may prime. some cars 1/2 the pump is dead until cranked.
so easy to drain a battery priming the pump.
it could be the pickup screen in the tank is clogged from dirt in the tank being stirred up when you ran it dry then put gas in you will have to drop the tank to look at it or dirt could have made it to your injectors or throttle body
This is caused by some gas station pumps, not your vehicle. The sensor on a lot of pumps at stations are not replaced or adjusted, or the nozzle is not pressed in far enough when the attendant inserts the nozzle when fueling a vehicle. I too had the same problem, and realized the solution after testing other fuel stations/pumps.
Deposits build up in the gas tank over time due to poor quality gas. When you fill your tank, you stir up those deposits and causes them to get stuck in the fuel filter causing low gas pressure. I recommend driving until you hit empty and drain the rest of the gas out of your gas tank, then replace the fuel filter. Of course buy a gas can that will hold enough gas to get you to a gas station so you can fill your ca. when you get to the gas station add some gas treatment to the tank and fill it. The treatment will clear out any deposits that might be in the fuel lines between the gas tank and the filter. Fuel filter have replacement intervals just like oil and if you dont keep up on those, it comes back at you.
Well, I can tell you with certainty you got a lemon.....but seriously.....you know you could sue this person due to the "lemon law". Other than that....you have a bad seal....sort of hard to say where....looking at a pic of the motor right now....could be several places in the front...but the main one would be where your harmonic balancer is and that is a pain to reseal....gotta pull the motor to pull the timing chain cover off and reseal the front seal.
if your luck is like my it probably on the fuel tank like my plymouth breeze was try this put in some STP gas treatment make sure you have a half tank of gas and then put in a little more of gas do this at the gas station it easier that way hope this helps you Michigan man
