THE CAR STARTED YESTERDAY AND RAN OUT OF GAS AFTER ONLY RUNNING FOR ABOUT 1 MIN OR SO WE THOUGHT. SO MY SON BOUGHT THE CAR AND BROUGHT IT HOME ON A TRAILER AND NOW THE CAR WILL TURN OVER BUT WILL NOT START. WE PUT 2 GALLONS OF GAS IN THE CAR AND IT STILL WILL NOT START.

First thing to do is. Pop the hood. Pull the innermost fuse. It should be pink and 30a. Get back in and try turning it over for about 10 seconds. Put the fuse back and try startin her up. These cars are known for flooding, I learned that the hard way. If this is the problem it is so simple to fix. If the car starts, run it for 10 minutes or so letting it warm up completely. If you shut it off before it can warm up it will definately be flooded the next time you try. The solution is to not shut it off when cold. If that doesnt work there are many other things it could be but I would need more details to give you a good answer. But the flooding is most likely it
