Before this can be properly answered you need to stateYear and engine size.
How long can I leave my car in the driveway w/o starting it up?
Good guess is that the fuel system has air in it.
Towards the back of the engine on top there should be a pressure port for the fuel rail. Will look like a tire valve air valve.
Turn on the key to the run position and listen for the fuel pump to buzz, building up pressure.
Place a rag over your hand and using a small object press open the fuel port, like letting air out of a tire.
Be careful as when fuel makes it up there it will have quite a bit of pressure.
You may have to repeat 2 or 3 times. Once you get a good strong spurt of fuel try to start truck again.
Don't smoke around the truck or let anyone else smoke around truck while doing this!!!
if you kept trying to start it while it was out of gas, then you may have killed your fuel pump. You didn't describe what happens when you try to start the car. Does it try to turn over? Do you hear anything? Does the dash and the dummy lights light up?
Why do my car's brakes go out when I'm making sharp left turns?
does the fuel pump still run?you could have burnt up the pump,trying to start it.never run out of gas in these cars today.gas is what keeps the pump luberacated.More Questions & Answers ...
