Doesn't want to start

Hey everyone,

New to the forum here. i've got a problem, and hope someone can shed some light.

So, my car was running fine prior to running out of gas. It ran out of gas and now it doesn't want to start up again. I put more gas into it (regular and not premium, though cause i had some around) and the thing just keeps turning over but doesn't fire. If I let it sit for a while and go back to it, it almost starts up on the first try but doesn't really get going. I've try turning the key to "On" without starting it a few times to try and build up pressure in the gas lines. But no luck. I'm thinking of maybe seeing if i can spritz some starter fluid somewhere - don't know where though - to help things along.

Possible problems - Gas pump went out? Fuel Injectors? Engine Seized (hope not)?

Like i said, car has been running/starting fine for as long as i've had it. Thanks for reading through this. I appreciate any help or insight.

Do the fuel pumps work for a while when you start the ignition on (engine is off)? If not, check the fuel relay.
