Default 2002 accord v-6 wont run right

three weeks ago i ran out of gas in my 2002 accord v-6, since then the engine light comes on and the tcs light.had it checked at local parts store and the reader said it wasnt hitting on all cylinders.tried running a can of sea foam through it but still no help.it cranks to a very low idle,very rough.no power at all hardly when put in gear.the last time i ran low of fuel since this the low fuel warning didnt come on if that helps,any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Consider having the fuel pressure measured. The gasoline cools & lubricates the pump, so maybe it overheated when it ran dry?? ($$$)

Other than that, you might try resetting the ECU & forcing it to re-learn the idle.

1) Pull fuse #13 in the right-end of the dashboard for several seconds. (Near the right-front door hinges.)
2) Let engine cool down completely.
3) Start the engine without touching the gas pedal.
4) Let it warm up by idling without touching the gas pedal.

What if your car won’t start unless your foot is on the gas?

Would you start a new thread and describe the circumstances and current issues you are having with your car? Also provide your specific vehicle information along with any work done recently on your car.

Having 2 potentially different problems from different users on one thread makes it confusing to read.

Thanks,
