Is it possible the fuel pump *inertia switch* tripped to the OFF position which stops fuel delivery to the engine instead - - maybe you didn’t run out of gas after all.
Recommend checking the INERTIA SWITCH.
See > ROADSIDE EMERGENCIES - section in the owner’s manual for information relating to the *inertia switch* (Fuel Pump Cut OFF) location and re-set procedure.
