So the other day I ran out of gas,filled it up with 2 gallons and barely got home.

Pump doesnt prime,and it only starts/moves with tapping the gas.

Just wanted to make sure,so voice your opinion.

My guess is you sucked up some crap from the bottom of the tank. Sounds like its time for a new pump

As I suspected,thanks guys!

Looks like I got a busy week ahead of me.

Fuel pump,ball joints,wheel bearing and o2 sensor need to be tackled

Atleast I didnt brim the tank before the pump died!

I agree with the others. Don't use AIRTEX for your replacement.
