How come you just didn't change the fuel filter instead of blowing it out, it will only damage $10 off you.

If you let it the car run completely empty them could be your fuel pump which is stuck and playing around.

Start by checking the plugs just because they say they are new doesnt mean they are

I'm more inclined to think it's a fuel issue as it happened after running out of fuel.

Worst case scenario your filter is stuffed and all the crap from the bottom of the tank is now sucked into the lines and may have clogged up the fuel rail/injectors.

It's not your plugs, just try a new filter from super cheap, I think the Rico ones are about $27 from memory. If no change inspect your fuel lines and injectors. While you do the filter get some fuel injector cleaner and run it thru your tank see if that helps.

How is injector cleaner going to work if his car hardly runs? I find it hard to believe all injector blocked up at once unless his filter was deleted.is injector cleaner designed to remove large particals?
