I Drive a 1998 Ford Escort Zx2 with 109 thousand miles on it. The other day I ran out of gas. I went and got gas put the gas in..and my car still won't start. I have checked the fuses and i tried to do the fuel switch off thing ...nothing will work. I try to start it and it just keeps turing over..but not starting. I also tried to have it jumped and its not the battery. Any suggestions??

Check for fuel pressure while cranking the engine over. If there is no pressure the fuel pump is damaged caused by running our of gas.
