How much gas was in it before you added some?

So, probably not a lot of gas was left in it. (actually, it probably wasn't even really gas any more......)

Still need to know what year, and what engine.

Default 2001,318 motor got it started 2 times run 5 min total won't start back what should I

I been looking at utube and I think by the fuel gauge not working and brake lights on and others it's the brain box over the motor,PCM

Need to check and see if you are getting spark, and see what fuel pressure looks like. Do you hear the fuel pump prime when you first turn the key?
