Is it cranking at least? (starter motor engaging?) If you have a fuel pump that's borderline and then run it low on gas it can burn out, they use the fuel in the tank as a coolant. You may also have sucked up all the dregs in the bottom of the tank and clogged the filter screen on the pump, or the fuel filter. Try confirming that the fuel pump comes on when you switch the key to "on". (You may need a helper.) You should hear it 'hum' for a moment as soon as key is on.
