My car was low on gas, I stoped at a gas station put in 5 dollers get about a gallon and a half of only because it was expensive and i was only about 5 miles away from my house where it was cheaper. Get about 3 miles down, stop at a light and my car dies. It cranks over like it's going to start but thats the only thing. Tryed jumping it, let it sit for about a hour.Still no luck. I filled up a 5 gallon gas can and put it into the car. Does anyone know what couold possibly be the problem or has anyone had this problem. It's a 93 prelude. HELP!!! haha

the fuel is what cools it if it was running on fumes it might have burned up.

put your key in, and listen very carefully, then turn it to the on position, you should hear a faint whining for a couple seconds. That will be your fuel pump kicking on. If you dont hear it then yea, you burn it up.
