Hi,
Everything was fine two days ago, but I ran the gas too low getting home. Yesterday went outside to start the [COLOR=green ! important][COLOR=green ! important]car[/color][/color], it would start but would die immediately after. Assumed it was not having enough gas, so went to store and got about 1 1/2 gallons in tank. It was still doing same thing. Start, then die. I pumped the gas trying to get it to start, no luck. Popped the hood, pulled the throttle a few times (Fuel injection system). Now it wont start at all, It just turns over but never actually starts now. HELP!

get a can of carb. cleaner spray in throttle body or pull a hose off so you can spray carb. cleaner into intake and see if it trys to start at all if it does then your fuel filter is stopped from running so low on gas ! or your fuel pump has got to hot from running tooooo low on gas and quit working ! but spray carb. cleaner to see if this is the problem without spending a lot of money. even if it runs for two min. you will know you are not getting the fuel you need , then remove fuel filter , it will probley be (black looking gas coming from it ) stopped up with crud from bottom of tank . check fuel pressure tooo !
