Re: Running with no gas (Lost Type R)
your car is dead, I'll trade you my VW for it...
Are you letting the fuel pump prime a couple of times before starting?
Maybe the fuel system sucked up some gunk from the bottom of the tank that it normally wouldn't, also, let the pressure out of the gas cap, prime, etc.
If all else fails, one of the banjo bolts on the fuel filter is the highest point in the fuel system, and you can bleed air there...

Re: Running with no gas (Lost Type R)
let the pump prime for a couple minutes, then crank for a couple minutes. should do the trick. and get more gas, i know my car is harder to start when it has less than 2 gallons left.
