2001 Tahoe ran out of gas and won't start after filling back up.

There are a couple of possibilities here mjtoledano. The good news is that if the ECM fuse hasn't blown again that may indicate the fuel pump is still sound. That's still a possibility (failed fuel pump)but most likely there is air in the fuel line ... or ... when you ran dry the fuel filter sucked up something off the bottom of the tank that is blocking it. You probably are looking at a trip to the dealer to have it checked out but if you are ambitious enough to change out the fuel filter I would start there. Good luck!

It may have been your fuel pump...same happened to me and that was the problem solver

I wish people would stop with the "sucked up some crud" from bottom of tank. The fuel inlet screen / filter is located in the bottom of the tank and always sucks up gas and whatever else is down there, hence the screen. Running out of gas does not mean you've now pulled some crud into the pump. More likely, you've blown a fuse on the fuel pump or simply you've got air in the fuel lines that's hard to work out. Running the ignition on without turning the engine over for a few minutes allows the pump to run and slowly purge itself of air.

You fried the fuel pump. It only takes one time running it out of gas and that can happen.

Are you saying GM is so stupid to put a fuel pump in a car that burns out if it is not pumping fuel? Wow no wonder they make a lot of money. Wouldn't a fuse pop or blow first? That is what fuses are for. No I'm sorry, the pump must of been made in China, assemble in Mexico, that got it from a dealer in Canada. Yep, made in America works for me also. I've run our of gas and/or friends have and I never had to replace a fuel pump or fuse. The fuel is gone, the motor dies not run. Would a driver leave the keys on to go get gas? Air in the lines is more of a intelligent response here. If I'm wrong, I'll keep my old cars with the mechanical fuel pumps that are still going after 44 years.

Turn the key on to let the fuel get through the line to the engine wait 5 minutes on level ground . Start it now in the name of Jesus! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Holly Cow. I know a lot of old mechanics, and they usually say the entire name, but not in a civil manner. I you can, pull the fuel line off, placing the end in a container to catch the gas. then turn on the ignition and when the gas starts to flow out the hose line, turn off the key, connecting the hose back to the EFI. Turn on the ignition, checking for leaks. No leaks? Start the vehicle. As long as you're at it, before attempting to start the vehicle, good time to replace the fuel filters. Getting to the bottom of the tank, is where a lot of gunk settles, and it may of gotten into the lines and filters. Just a subsection. Good luck.

Just run the pump with a jumper in place of the relay. If you hear it running make sure it has enough pressure to the rail. If you change your pump watch about the dorman. It’s a great pump but I had two not working so I took them to my mechanic. They were both wired and running in reverse. Swapping wires on the pump and started right up. 2002 vin z Tahoe

Orrrr add fuel to the tank - depress the gas peddle ONLY HALF WAY TO THE FLOOR- turn the key and... TA DA! Works for me every time!

I kinda got a similar issue except my dumbass ex put almost 5 gallon of water in the tank I've already drained my tank and put fresh gas into it and a bottle of heat but now all it dose is start up idol for like 30 sec than dies what do you think I should do?

shoot her
