Ran out of gas and now no start 17 Tacoma

Me thinks it's bots or trollery and we all bought in hook line and sinker

 

The Prius was bought new and the hybrid batteries have the warranty. The wife was pre-owned and was not a CPO nor was I offered an extended warranty, so she came as is.

 

Sounds like OP might have tried the ol' half gallon in the throttle body trick.

 

Only once.

 

That was pretty good, but when I received the recent fuel pump recall notice, I took the wife into the dealership and kept the truck at home as its fuel pump was working just fine.....

 

WTF just happened here on TW. Only 7 pages of witty humor. (especially fond of the wife comments)*says as he changes password and clears history*
For the record if OP dude ran out of fuel and truck doesn't' start where in the hell does he get this miracle 1/2 imperial gallon of fuel to dump in the throttle body.... DUH; I mean even I have a spare fuel pump in the glove box, but fuel...hell no.

 

The trick is to manually ignite it, can't trust the plugs after running them dry to fire without a little coaxing

 

This post scared me but I guess I also like to live dangerously

 

This thread ran out of gas, but with all your help, has restarted just fine. You all are the best-erest!

 

OP, but with a Taco instead of a gun

 

How did this happen sir?

 

He got lost in all the paper target ass kicking. Happens to the best of us.

 

Lost in the sauce, happens to the best of us. Unfortunately, this private's sauce was a simple ketchup

 

Just to keep this thread going, I'd like to share my new method of getting funds for modifications approved by my wife.
Start with "Honey, I ran out of gas. I put gas in it and now it won't start. The mechanic says it's going to be $60 labor or a case of beer and it might need a TRD Pro grill. Don't you think the case of beer would be cheaper? That saving would go a long way toward the cost of the grill."

 

Dare I ask how well this actually works?

 

Dunno yet. Gonna try it today & see.

 

Don't for forget to give her flowers before you ask.

 

That could backfire. If I show up with flowers for no apparent reason the first words out of her mouth are "ok, what do you want?" or "Oh chit what did you do now?"

 

My wife be very suspicious also. I never buy her flowers. I might pick her some wild flowers.
