My car ran out of fuel, and when I refueled it it wouldn't start.

It did run out of fuel, it was on the red, and I was going to the gas station when it happened. The engine cranks over well, but it doesn't turn on. I haven't check for sparks on the spark plugs but I will later on, I didn't hear the pump turn on, so it could be the wires or connections to the pump, or finally the pump.

Seen this many times as I fix'em for a living!.. There is NO reason for the pump to quit working just because if ran out of gas!.. Good luck with it. .. Let other readers/owners know the outcome by posting your findings.
