![]() The car may not have ran out of gas even though it was pretty low. That could just be pure coincidence. Do you hear the fuel pump come on when you turn on the key? If you don't, have a friend turn on the key while you have your ear up against the fuel filler door. If you don't hear it, then your pump is not coming on.
To check spark by yourself: Take the coil wire off. Take a piece of insulated wire (one long enough to get to the door pillar post) and strip the insulation off of both ends and wrap one end of it around the terminal where the coil wire goes. Lay the other end on the fender where you can see it from the drivers seat. Take a screwdriver or something that has enough weight to stabilize the wire. Lay it on the wire but make sure the wire part is not touching the fender, just the insulation. The wire should be just off the fender. Crank the engine over and see if spark jumps from the end of the wire to the fender. Obviously, if it does then you have spark. If it doesn't, then you probably have a failed ignition module. Check these two things and post the results.

![]() Well I got it to run off the starting fluid, but it wouldnt stay on. I heard the pump kick on once but thats it. Is there a fuel pump cut off switch? anything else I can try before I drop the tank and put in a new fuel pump?
