General sciento won't star

[jamhulio]

i need help. sciento ran out of petrol this morning. Have put £8.00 in since and it won't start and it has also been towed around the town and still nothing. It done this once before and apparently the fuel pump fuse needed changing. however, my brother has looked at fuse and says nothing wrong. also tried to fuel cut off switch and this is already pressed in. has anyone got any ideas. i could take it to a garage but don't get paid until next weekend and thought someone might know of anything easy it could be

does the fuel pump prime for a few secs when you switch ignition on?
(get your head under the car and listen to the fuel tank when ignition is first switched on)

 

[jamhulio]

yes

thats good news.

have you checked for sparks on all plugs?

is the code light remaining illuminated?
