Ran out of fuel and now sometimes doesnt start...

I agree with Pete that it could be an electrical issue. I had a similar issue (although not exactly the same) and it turned out to be the ground wire going out of the tank.

The ground wire coming out of the tank is the ground for the pump, sender, and sensor for the idiot light. Once I cleaned and tightened the pins in the bulkhead connector my fuel pump worked perfectly and my fuel gauge was more accurate.
