am in desperate need of some help. I have a 2007 Monte Carlo SS 5.3 V8. I ran out of gas unfortunately and now the car will start up sometimes and then shut off but as of now it won't start at all. I put a brand new battery in it as well and now it says service traction control. It did say something about reduced power but when I change the battery that went away I've taken the fuses out for the ECM unhook the battery. Like I said put a new battery in it. It will not start at all at this point. Can somebody please help me? I'm in desperate need of some help. Thank you for any input you have

 

For step 1, I'd verify fuel pressure is in spec. Running the pump totally dry may have burned it up. The fuel cools the pump - so running the tank low drives its temps up as there's less volume of fuel to dissipate that heat into. You've pushed that situation as far as possible by running it bone dry.

 

I agree with bumpin on that. I have seen this happen before.
When you insert the key and turn the car on prior to starting it listen for a Buzz or a Humm in the rear of the car. If you don't hear that then your fuel pump is probably toast.
Good thing is they can be replaced from the trunk. Good Luck
