The car is fuel injected. His problem started yesterday when he ran out of gas. He filled up the tank then tried to start it again, but the car just cranks and it won't turn over. I'm not to familiar with fuel injected cars, but someone told me that when the car ran out of gas the gunk from the gas tank clogged the fuel lines. Can this happen? If so, how can this be fixed? I hope we get this fixed fast, I'm getting tired of pushing his car around town. thanks! John M. Balkovic ariel!jmb P.S. Send by personal mail (ariel!jmb) or net.auto.
