Ok  Chevy was running great,  then I ran out of gas.  filled it up,  running real bad.   seems like it is out  of timing or something.  any ideas

By the way, I've found a sure way to prevent this problem . . . run out of gas at least once a month and it won't let that crap build up enough to ever be a problem.   

Don't be trying to spread all your Triangle logic around in here.....     

But, yeah, it works alright.... 

I hear if you run some old used oil through a coffee filter and then dump it in the tank it works wonders.. 

 

also it is my understanding that the fuel pump is cooled and lubricated by fuel so it can damage the furl pump when you run it dry,  i have also experiences this.

Is there some kind of ordinance in the "Triangle" say that you can't buy gas or have a working fuel gage ? The world wants to know.
    SC, Don't buy new tires . If you just stop along the road and pick up the "Gator's" that the truck's tossed, you should have a enough rubber to sew/glue to your old tires. One "Gator" should fix all your tires I would think. You do have some used thread don't you ? Maybe you should trade your Mazda for a couple of pre-tested tires.

Yep.  And they are very prone to crapping out.  In my years in the parts business, we sold 2-3 of these pumps for any one of anything else.  Very common failure item.

I always liked how they put these in the gas tank for ease of accessability...

No.no.no. Casey... you got it all wrong.  They put them in the tank cause they won't go bad.   

you need an old turkey baster,  not your mouth,  i am not the safest guy out there, but not a good idea to put your face up to a battery, i am sure you had you safety glasses on

One last hope I have was to unplug the battery and let the computer reset

Now the battery crapped out. Its low on water,    It is located under some stuff,  So i filled my mouth with water and got a bendy straw.  Then I kind of spit water  into the battery holes.  pretty smart!  huh?  Now the charger is doing its thing.  Stay tuned.  SC

We have got to get all his posts in print. 
I have laughed more because of him than pretty much any one else I know.
We should name it "help with slow starter" or something...

LOL.
