QuestionI have a 1995 Cadillac Seville. One night recently, I ran out of gas. Once the car had gas in it, it still did not immediately start. I attempted several times to crank, without success. Later the next day,when I attempted to crank it, the dash lights flickered....and now do not show at all. Could you diagnose this problem please? Would running out of gas effect the entire electrical system?
AnswerHello,
Chances are you burned up the fuel pump inside the tank. At the very least it lost its prime, sucking air which destroys the fuel pump. These cars are not designed to run out of gas.
In the old days there was a mechanical fuel pump. You run out of gas and it would restart. Most of the time when the tank runs empty on a fuel injection car, before the engine runs again, the fuel pump needs changed.
As for yoiur dash lights I have no clue unless you wore the battery down.
