The car ran out of fuel and put a gallon in, this usually started it back up, but not this time. I changed the fuel filter, and the fuel pump has plenty of pressure. I am not seeing any fuel getting into the throttle body. Have not checked to see if it is getting spark, no one will help out.
Is there a problem with-in my throttle body?

The fuel pump has plenty of pressure. Did you actually check it with a fuel pressure gauge-the eyeball and thumb method is not gonna work with the EFI it requires the correct fuel pressure.

Do this put gas in the throttle body watch yourself-did it fire up if not check the ignition-if it fires recheck the fuel system. Could also be the computer is not getting an ignition reference signal and not commanding the injector/s to pulse.

I do nothave a gauge to check it with, what I did do though is took the line off going to the throttle body and turned the on, it was flowing reather well.
How can something go out just by sitting there?
