my battery is fully charged and also the ignition click, but still the car wouldn't start.
the main relay is also ok, make 3 click, 1st 2 click and last one when I try to start the engine.

hey whats up. so the car ran out of gas totally. Your battery is charged. if everything else was fine when you last drove it besides the gas issue. you need to remember when you empty your tank fully then put gas and try to start it. it takes a pretty good amount of cranking the motor to get the fuel system back to full and the pressure back to normal. you could try sprying starting fulid into the throttle body at the butterfly valve to help it start and pressurize the system that way. but the motor needs to be cranking somehow to pressureize the system. because the fuel pump only runs when the motor is being cranked. it has to push fuel in order to stay cool or it could over heat and burn out. hope all this info helps.

^^^What?? The fuel pump primes itself as soon as you turn the key which pressurizes the system. The motor does not need to be cranking. Also fuel doesnt cool the motor or starter.

The fuel system does prime its self but thats when you have not ran it out of gas completely. because the fuel relay shuts the pump off after 2-3 seconds after its primed so unless you want to sit there and turn the key on and off about a million times then go ahead and dont listen to me. And i said that the fuel pump must be pumping fuel for it to not overheat and burn out. I said nothing about the motor or starter burning out?
