Skip Thanks for the reply Filters ok I get an error code that says the fuel pump is not receiving power because the ECM is not receiving a Pulse signal from the distributor What in the dist. produces the pulse to the ECM. Thats where ai think I should be looking. The running out of gas may be co-insidental. Thanks All William Carey on 9/28/2009 1:33:17 PM
William, Did you have to add 20+ gallons of fuel? If you needed to add less then the problem is something other than running the car totally out of fuel (it has a 20 gallon tank). Have you checked the fuel filter? When was it changed last? A restricted fuel filter may allow the car to start but not go. I am not sure where you are in the troubleshooting process but I always start with the simple things first. Skip Skip on 9/14/2009 11:37:41 AM
