My truck ran out gas, and before I put more in I tried to turn it over and it started for a sec then died. Tried one more time it wouldn't start at all. I put gas in it and it still wont start. I tried spraying starting fluid in there to try to get it to work and it turned over like it was trying to start but just wont start. It is getting spark and I think I checked the fuel line and nothing was coming out. What should I do next?

Well the place where you check the pressure I held the valve open and gas shot out when I turned it over, I know that that doesn't exactly rule out the fuel pump but it had gas. Pumping from what it looked like.

Fuel coming out of the fuel pressure test port, but is it the correct fuel pressure EFI system don't like low fuel pressures-You need to use a fuel pressure gauge to confirm it
