    The fuel pump may have failed, since there was no fuel in it. Fuel lubricates the pump, and without it, the pump can be damaged.

    That's just a guess though - verify the fuel is in the system, verify the fuel filter is not clogged. Keep trying for a little while, as air may be in the lines.

    Ran completely out of gas.I added more gas and it still won't start.I tried starting fluid, injector cleaner and it won't stay running, sounds like something is clogged.
