Default Discovery starting problem after runnung out of gas.

1997 Disco wont start after running out of gas on a decline (hill). Not sure what the deal is, but it just turns over forever without catching. Is there a reset or something i need to do to prime it somehow? I pushed the fuel shut off reset. not working. should i use starter fluid to try to get it running>? I hvae no clue. its not showing any computer codes either...

Default RE: Discovery starting problem after runnung out of gas.

I would not use any type of starting fluid. Trace the fuel line, I would start at the engine. You will want to start at the fuel rail over top of the injectors. Trace the line back and see if there is a fitting in the line you can unscrew, this will at least let you know if you are getting fuel to the engine. If no fuel there, then keep tracing back, checking everywhere you can...
