2001 expedition ran out of gas and won't start

Asked by Ahdallas13 Feb 26, 2018 at 04:10 PM about the 2001 Ford Expedition XLT

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Parked car, tried to start it a few days later and
cranks but won't run. It acts like it's not getting
spark. Tried starting fluid in the intake, makes no
difference. It just turns over. Won't even sputter.
Just turns and turns. Fuel cut off relay button was
depressed,  and if you hit it it pops up. When
pushed it goes down and stays down. I don't know
now if it's supposed to be up, or down. I've put gas
in, a gallon once and then another gallon and a half  
at another time. Don't know what to do. I moved to  
Arizona, came back to get my car and am stranded
in Washington. Help!

Sounds like the fuel injectors clogged up from sediment in the gas tank. Will likely have to replace fuel filter and injectors.
