i ran my car low on gas last night long story, i went to crank it this morning it wouldnt start, it turns over but wont start like its out of gas... so i went and got some gas , still didnt crank so i check my fuses, grounds, i hear the fuel pump prime, only thing i didnt change was the filter, any ideas what esle it could be?

 

btw, how should the fuel pump sound... mine sounds like a machine turning, and i also here like a "thunk"

 

help?

 

Do you hear anything clicking? Double check and make sure the fuel pump is priming.. It's getting hot outside and it's time for everyone's main relays to start taking a ****..

it's located where the hood release latch is.. if you dont hear the fuel pump priming.. tap on it a couple times..

goodluck bro

 

thanks man. any more input , im going to pull the pump check lines to see if trash in there

 

i just took the fuel filter off, and it poured out some dark brownish blackish gas, i will replace it tommorow or saturday

 

if that doesnt work like jimmy said it could be the relay
i've seen this problem on every EG me an my cousin owned (i dunno if u drive an EG)

but all we had to do in each of our 4 egs was always the same thing to make it start

this may sound ghetto but just knock under the dash right under steering column in the middle of the panel (panel that has 3 screws and comes off)
not hard just knock on it like its a window and try to start ur car

like i said sounds ghetto but thats what me an my cousin always did in all our eg's
never changerd the relay in any of them an only had this problem like once every 2 weeks

but thats it i just thought i would throw in my 2 cents

sorry i basically just repeated what jimmy said just in more detail
