If you ran out of gas and it wont start, and thats the only thing that happened and it was working before...I would check to see that you are getting fuel for sure, and that your pump has not died.Try holding the pedal to the floor as you crank.You could also depress the shrader valve on the fuel line to see if you have fuel in the line ( be carefull with that though ) will be under pressure if you do.
