Hello all.
I did the unspeakable and allowed my car to run out of gas. After filling it back up and i'm pretty sure i primed the lines by cycling the fuel pump a few times. I even unbolted the output side of the fuel filter to make sure that there was pressure when I activated the fuel pump and sure enough there was a geyser of fuel. Anyways, Now i'm faced with a no spark issue. I'm curious if there's something i'm not familiar with that i'm suppose to do to reset the electrical system? I'm going to conduct some more tests today. But any feedback on this or related stories are welcome. Thanks! --------------------  |

You don't have to cycle the fuel pump or remove any lines if you run out of gas. The fuel pump will prime itself and the car will start as long as you add fuel to the tank. The crank pulley bolt usually isn't that bad on these engines. If it is a manual trans, put it in 5th gear and parking brake on to hold the pulley.
