Newbie question - re: start up

[voce88]

OK,

Please tolerate the newbie here. I own a 1994 Grand Prix SE. I ran my gas tank to empty (yeah, I know) and now I can't start the car. When I turn the key the car seems to want to start. Plenty of power - the starting "whine" sounds normal - just won't start!

Any ideas of problem......besides my stupidity?

Thanks in advance,

Rich

get a can of ether and spray it into the intake or throttle body screen, or you may be able to dump a little gas in there, it just needs it to mix with the air and spark. once you do that just keep trying, it may take awhile depending on how many times you tried to start it up after it ran out of gas and before adding some more.
