wont start
 

my freind ran her 2001 saturn sl out of gas. We put 10 gallons in and the car still wont start does anybody have any suggestions as to what it could be

Check the fuel pump fuse (10A) in the instrument panel junction block (IPJB) inside the car. Turn the ignition key to the ON position, but do not try to start the car. Listen to see if you hear the fuel pump run for a few seconds, then stop. If you have one, hook a fuel pressure gage to the fuel rail, and make sure the pressure is right (40 to 55 psi)

if like me you do not have a fuel pressure guage, correction, DID NOT have a fuel pressure gauge. After years of not needing something like that I have had enough problems to have to know what the pressure was, on a fuel injected car, having to know what the pressure is becomes important and if you do a lot of your own work, now it is time to buy one.

possibly the junk at the bottom of the tank got sucked into the pump and either plugged the pump, lines, or fuel filter?
