Answer
Since this seems to have occurred in coincidence with running out of fuel, the first step should be to check your fuel pressure.  You'll need a fuel pressure gauge and adaptor to install it on top of the fuel filter.  This will help you determine whether the problem is indeed related to fuel delivery or simply a coincidence.

If you have low fuel pressure, replace the fuel pump.

If you have no fuel pressure, verify you're getting power to the fuel pump.  If so, replace the fuel pump.  If not, you'll need to diagnose the fuel pump circuit.
