2017 TUNDRA NOT STARTING

hello everyone, so i was hauling full bed of dirt, and i ran out of gas when i was in my yard, so i filled her up to half tank and she would not start , i primed it a bunch of times and still dosent start, i really need some help and would really appreciate it if yall could help ,

thanks markypoo

 

Are you sure you ran out of gas? There’s like 5 or 6 more gallons after it reads empty.

 

yea it shut off on me, so i went and bought gas but would not start after that

 

"primed it" how did you do that?

I'm no expert, but you could hold it in start for a min and maybe it needs to let the fuel travel to the engine (you probably already did this)

or give removing the negative battery terminal for a few min a try.

 

i put the ignition on for 20 seconds a time like 5 times, isn there another way to prime it?

 

Maybe you burnt out the fuel pump. Those extra few gallons are supposedly there to keep the fuel pump cool.

 

And you can hear the fuel pump?

 

scary, well how could i check if the pump is out

 

yes we could hear the pump yes

 

I’m not sure, it’s in the fuel tank. Hopefully someone will chime in.

 

Troll?

 

ok, just asking lol, is it hard to take off the fuel line?

 

did you try resetting the ecu by disconnecting the battery (negative i believe) terminal for a few min?

just throwing it out there

 

stupid question but did you try to start it in neutral? My gear selector in my old hyundai sometimes would not fully set into park activating the safety sensor. took me 2 hours to figure it out. LOL

 

how did you run out of gas in your yard ? once the light is on there is a big reserve still.

 

well it was empty for a while, i guess i holded off to long to fill it up

 

Personally I would play stupid and take it /have it towed to the dealer and try to have it fixed under warranty.

Lesson learned don't do that again.

 

this is really wired cuz i only have 23,000 miles on the tundra

 

doesnt matter if you have .2 mi or 200000 miles.. if you run your truck completely out of gas the pump/sending unit can be damaged

hopefully you can get it hauled onto a road and have toyotacare tow it to a dealership

 

Agree with others tow it to dealership and never say u ran out of gas. Hopefully u still under waranty

 

Probably should ask a mod to delete this so there's no evidence.
Just saying...

 

Not sure why it would kick off but did you check your fuel cutoff switch?
