Turns over but doesn't start

Asked by VenusMoon Dec 23, 2016 at 05:50 PM about the 1990 Ford Tempo 4 Dr AWD Sedan

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My dad has a 1990 ford tempo. The car ran out of gas
while he was driving. We put 10 gallons in it and now it
won't start. You can hear the fuel pump engaging and I
have check the trip switch in the trunk and both are fine.
What else could the problem be?
