Clean and test the IACV, EGR valve and Throttle position sensor
Just to add to this one you must have replaced the fuel sending unit with the pump to effect the gas gauge not reading correctly.Also was the fuel gauge ever reading empty when you had plenty of fuel in the tank?Also does your temp gauge power door locks keyless entry all work if you have them?When you try to start it does the security light stay on solid or flash?
I am not sure where these parts are located. I have tried to look them up but to no avail. Also to saturntech9, before the fuel pump and filter were replaced the gas gauge read at 1/2 tank even when empty. Now that they have been replaced it is reading empty even though we have put over $30 of gas in it. All power locks, windows, lights, ect work. The security light will flash and then go off but the check egine light, oil light, battery light, and gas light now come on. When fuel is feed through the carberator the car will crank and then die off after a couple of seconds.
The fuel sending unit is attached to the fuel pump module which is submersed in the fuel tank.It uses a float to tell the fuel level.So the gas gauge reads empty and it wont start with plenty of gas sounds like it could be a bad body control module.I have replaced tons of them on that car for that very reason.Also a lot of other reasons the body control module on those cars have a high failure rate.
