Thank you for any help! dave284 Enthusiast / Moderator Apr 5, 2008, 8:02 PM Post #2 of 3 (1376 views) Re: ran out of gas mirage wont start Sign In The fuel lines have trapped air in them,.... try pressing the fuel tester valve to get some of the air out of the system , that valve I'm talking about is located on the fuelrail. The fuel reset button wouldn't have anything to do with the vehicle running out of gas and not starting after fuel was added Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Apr 5, 2008, 11:29 PM Post #3 of 3 (1371 views) Re: ran out of gas mirage wont start Sign In Agree - it's air now. If you can't bleed it out try priming it at throttle body and they would usually sanp out of it after a try or two. Note: Electric fuel pumps don't like running low on fuel which seems to effectively keep them cooler when they always have an ample fuel supply. I don't like running below 1/3 tank myself but would not venture below a 1/4 on purpose, T   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
