Ran Out of Fuel, Now No Start

I ran out of fuel yesterday, I assune. Gauge says 1/2 tank but it is suspect. I drove around most of day and it didnt move much at all. Long story short... she spuddered and died at 65mph on highway. I put fuel, cycled key a dozen or so times, and she started up. Idled fine for a few minutes but when merging back on the freeway it did the same thing. I took cap off secondary filter, cycled key to fill the bowl. she wants to start, struggles and struggles as if starving for fuel. She catches sometimes but i havent been able to get a smooth idle. I've blead air from top of filter bowl, and from the supply line to the passenger side of the head. Still no luck.

Any ideas? Is there more places I should bleed air? Maybe another problem?

Thanks
Tom

Check your fuel pressure. I'm gonna say the pump is weak.

Understandable, no worries. Just hard to chase 3 threads around. Get it going?
