Hey guys, my 2000 Jetta TDI ran out of fuel the other day (I got too used to running on E forever), and now won't start. Luckily, it died in my driveway. Anyhow, I got to the gas station, filled up a gallon container, and brought it back. Dumped it in the tank, no start. Jumped off my roommate's truck, no start. Crank crank crank, no start. Turns over, but doesn't fire.
So i do some emergency reading (running out of time, have to get to work) and find that an "inch" of bubble in the visible fuel line is normal. I've got about 4 inches of bubble. When we crank it, we can see fuel push through the line, but it won't start. The bubbles all come back once we stop cranking. I'm thinking that too much air got in there when I ran out?
What do you guys suggest? I can't afford taking it anywhere right now.
