Ran out of gas, now wont start.
So a couple days ago my ranger ran out of gas. While it was on the side of the road the radio got jacked but not much else. We put gas in it and now it will not start, the rollover fuel cut-off switch on the passenger side is already off, I can hear the fuel pump whine when I turn the key, and i've already replaced the fuel filter in an attempt to fix the problem. It wont even start if I spray a bit of starter fluid in the air intake. Does anyone know what my problem may be?
Thanks,
Zach

Ok so I followed the fuel line from the filter to the engine, and discovered there was a little unscrewable cap near the end of the fuel line, i'm assuming this is a way to see if your getting fuel that far, and it doesnt look like I am. So I was going to try to remove the hose but theres a silver round thing on it that I cant figure out how to get off, do I need a special tool for this?

Once you take off that cap you need to depress the schrader valve (note, place a rag around it to catch any fuel). If nothing comes out double check that the fuel pump is in fact running. If so, have someone cycle the ignition switch on and off a few times while holding the schrader valve down. If you still don't get any fuel I'd revisit the fuel filter.

It sounds like its going to start just find, it cranks over I just dont get the boom in the engine. I don't know if that made sense lol... but it doesn't sound like it would be anything else.

Have you checked all your fuses? If you have a 12v test light, pull an injector plug and place the test lamp between the terminals in the connector. Crank the engine and observe the lamp. It should blink dimly while cranking. This will tell you whether your getting a signal to the injectors.

also holding the gas wont do nothing...unless its carb'd, all u are doing is opening and closing the butterfly on the t-body

I have to agree with you, just stings a little. It just scares the living crap out of the person turning the motor over if they aren't expecting it to backfire!
