Why does my car not start when I crank the gas?
Contrarywise, the engine cylinders may have too much fuel. To find out, hold the gas pedal to the floor (up to 10 seconds) while you crank the engine. Let up on the gas as (if) the engine starts. If it cranks but does not start, sometimes a temperature sensor is bad and the computer can’t figure out the proper amount of fuel to inject.

Trim up, trim down, fuel pump, and main. If the main has failed. it would do exactly what you are seeing. Same with the fuel pump relay. Swap out the trim up relay with the main and try it again. If it starts, buy a new relay. If not, do the same with trim down and fuel pump.
What to do if your car won’t start after running out of gas?
Priming the fuel pump will remove any air that may have gotten into the lines as a result of the vehicle running out of fuel. If priming the fuel pump does not start the vehicle, I would recommend having a fuel system inspection performed by a qualified professional, such as one from YourMechanic.

Why does my car shut off when I step on the gas?
Power loss, especially on acceleration, may be the first sign. As flow continues to be impeded, the fuel filter may ultimately lead to a no-start condition, as fuel can no longer get to the engine. Vacuum leaks: The engine of a car is basically a large air pump. Air is drawn into the cylinders and mixes with fuel that is compressed and ignited.
Can a faulty fuel pump cause a car to not start?
Faulty fuel pump: The fuel pump moves fuel from the gas tank to the engine. If the fuel pump is malfunctioning, the engine will be getting less fuel than necessary, which will lead to performance issues, and ultimately cause the vehicle not to start.
