Answer
Hello Lori,
Fill it at least half full. Try to not let it get much below a quarter. It needs fuel to keep the pump cool and lubricated.

I would probably check the fuel pressure at the test port.

Just a remote possibility, and cheap and easy. Disconnect the battery for a minute, and see if some memory comes to life. I have seen that correct a no-idle problem before.
If you have a delco-lock system, follow the instructions to either dissable it or put in the correct code before unhooking the batt, or the radio won't work.
