Dodge: Dodge Intrepid fuel question., crankshaft position sensor, gas gauge


Question
This evening my car did something weird and I'd like your advise on it.

With over 3/4 full tank, tried starting and it will turn over but acts like out of fuel, also gas gauge shows no fuel.  Just in case someone siphoned by tank I added a gallon and it made no difference.  Do you have any suggestions?  Thanks.

Answer
Kelly,
What kind of car and year is it.Have you ever had any problems with the fuel guage?I had a similar problem this weekend,Had a crankshaft position sensor put on my mother-in-laws car,She called and said it would not start again.When i went over to check it i looked at the fuel guage and noticed it read empty,So i asked her if she ran it out of gas,she said no but she put 1 gallon of gas in the car,but the car was sitting on a hill and the fuel was not pumping to the engine...Sorry to make this so long but sometimes a gallon of gas is not enough to start the car.If the guage is reading empty and you said it has 3/4 of a tank someone must have siphoned your gas out!This was the reason i asked if you'd had fuel guage problems before.Thanks if you need more help please let me know and we will go from there.RamMan
