Most likely by running out of gas the fuel pump is damaged. The gasoline flowing through the fuel pump cools and lubricates the pump motor. When you run it dry the fuel pump can be burned out or damaged very quickly. I'd suggest replacing the fuel pump. Hope that helps! Jim

just like the guy above me said. Check your fuel pump, but to check an easier solution before you do that is go ahead and change the fuel filter. Its easier and cheaper. Perharps its clogged.
