fuel pump was going bad, gauge wouldn't work and couldn't get any pressure. Gas tank only has around three gallons in it, I replaced the pump and the filter, you can now hear it working but it still won't start, any ideas, is it possible that 3 gallons isn't enough? All fuses are good.

I forgot to mention that no codes are coming up and the vehicle died while driving I towed it to my garage and changed the fuel pump, replaced the wiring harness for the pump and can now hear it running but vehicle still won't start

I charged the battery which was pretty drained and added two more gallons, then everything started fine. Thanks for the help guess I figured it ran till on the gas that was in there till it quit so adding two gallons would have been enough, guess not though. Thanks for the help.
