My car ran out of gas and when we put gas back in it wouldn't start back up. We tested the battery and put starter fluid in and it still won't start.
Sometimes it takes awhile to prime itself trying again never hurt. the other thing that is possible is that the tank bottom had contaminates in it which were sucked up into the line when it was so low. these can get caught anywhere in the fuel line. I would get a new fuel filter(good to change anyways) the debris or contaminates would likely get trapped there where it is suppose too. it could have stopped it up. if you dont have the 10 -20 bucks for a new filter you can still pull it and try to free the debris by rinsing it with gas the opposite way and reuse. worse case scenario you may need a new fuel pump.. could have burned it up. it happens.. or the debris was large enough to stop it up. either way it sucks because replacing them are never fun. good luck
What happen when you sprayed starter fluid?. did it start? if it did not start then you have a no spark problem. and if you have no spark it can be a few things. a cam or crank position sensor or the ignition control modelr. if it do start then you have a fuel problem

you will probably need to reset the fuel shut off relay.

Hi, you may have it flooded. Try holding the accelerator all the way down while cranking the engine to clear the gas out. Let us know if this doesn't work, and thanks for using FixYa.

Ignition relay or fuse could be the problem. When you turn the key to start do you hear a fuel pump kicking on and or do you have spark when you hot wire the starter (I know it's hard to check while trying to start it)? You can email me back and I might be able to pinpoint it more.
SOURCE: Hello. My 1997 Chevy Tahoe
Now you have a good battery & a starter that turns over the motor
Have you cycled the key on & off with a fuel pressure gauge on the
fuel rail?
Do you have a fuel filter that isn't over 3 or 4 years old?
Have you checked for spark while cranking ? Use an old plug on the wires,
if you have ignition wires,don't ground the wire without resistance
If you removed the ducting & MAF Sensor it won't start
Tell us what you checked & exactly how that was done.

after putting some gas in your tank, step on the gas pedal repeatedly (step to it fully), then while pressing, start your car. the fuel was completely drained from your system thus there are no fuel to burn in able for your car to start.
pressing the gas pedal repeatedly (around 10 times will do) will put some fuel in your combustion chamber, so the car will now have something to burn if you will start the car
