99 Venture not getting power to fuel pump

[countrygirl2773]

I ran my 99 Chevy Venture out of gas, put more gas in and it will not start back..My brother checked the fuel pump and said there is no power to the fuel pump..it ran just fine until it ran out of gas..I need help please...

I am assuming that your brother checked for fire to the fuel pump with a test light. Has he already checked the obvious,the fuel pump fuse and the fuel pump relay? Alot of times when you run a fuel injected vehicle out of gas you burn up the fuel pump also because this alows the fuel pump to spin too fast but if your not even getting fire to the fuel pump then you must have another problem that I mentioned earlier. If you do replace the fuel pump then make sure you replace the strainer also.

we got it fixed..there was corrosion in the electrical plug-in that goes to the fuel pump..I cleaned all the green corrosion out and plug it back in and started right up.
