If the car was run completely out of fuel, there is a chance that the fuel pump may have been damaged. The fuel pump relies on the fuel in the tank to keep it cool, lubricated and functioning properly. In the event that the tank is ever run dry, this can cause the fuel pump to burn up. I would suggest having a professional from YourMechanic come to your location to diagnose and replace your fuel pump.
