I was very low on gas, parked on an upward hill. When I tried to start it after about 4 hours, it would not start and then the battery went dead. I called AAA and they brought gas - still wouldn't start. It turned out to be the fuel pump.I was very low on gas, parked on an upward hill.

YOU NEED NEW SPARK PLUGS AND WIRES.CLEAN THE FUEL INJECTORS.BUY A BOTTLE OF INJECTOR CLEANER POUR IN FUEL TANK OF GAS ALSO.CHANGE FUEL FILTER THIS LITTLE TUNE UP SHOULD HELP.
If it ran out of gas you'll need to purge the air out of the fuel line. Chances are also good that you pulled some sediment off the tank bottom and clogged the filter. If that's the case you'll need to replace the filter.
if it does not start after you check your distributor cap that means you took the car out of timing, when you put the distributor cap back on you did not put it is the correct position, now you need a mechanic to get the timing of the engine
I would check to be on the safe side the fuel filter is going in the right direction. The arrow is pointing towards the engine away from the fuel tank, Then you need to make sure the fuel pump wiring connections are good contact and did not come loose when driving.
