Hi:
I need you to check for two things. First check to see if you are getting spark to the plugs and fuel to the engine. One will be missing and I have a feeling it is the fuel. If the tank was empty, the pump may have picked up dirt and plugged the fuel filter, or damaged the pump itself.

Here is a video "How To" for checking fuel pressure. Many parts stores will lend or rent the gauge to you.

Check it out.

Let me know what you find and we'll move on from there.
