My bronco ran fine until my little brother used it and ran it out of gas. Since then it will start but wants to die. If you get it to stay cranked when you put it in gear it will die. Runs really bad now. Before he ran it out of gas it would start and idle strong and ran really great. What could be the problem?

Running a vehicle out of gas is a very good way to ruin a fuel pump or suck up impuritys and plug the fillter pump and the inline filter.

Check the fuel filter and change/adjust as needed.

I changed fuel filter after bronco was run out of gas but it is still doing the same thing it did before I changed it. PLEASE HELP ME WITH ADVISE AS TO WHAT I SHOULD CHECK OR DO NEXT. It ran fine before it was run out of gas. Cleaned distributer cap it ran fine for about 10 minutes or so.

Check for fuel pressure at the rail and compare it with specs, when cranking it also.
