Default The car doesn't start

Hello guys, I just removed my intake manifold to change the oil pressure and now i can't start the car. The starter seems fine, battery is good. My car is allitle bit low on gasoline, but i just filled in a gallon. So anyway, after i putted back the intake manifold, the car didn't start so i checked to see if there's any fuel at the fuel rail, but there was no fuel being pumped there. So i think it might be the fuel pump, but i'm not sure because it worked fine before.

Put your year in your signature, so we know what you are working on.

Check that you connected every sensor and that all the grounds are clean and tightened.

If you actually ran the tank dry, one gallon might not be enough to prime the pump. Put in a few more gallons.

I actually just put in another gallon, and still doesn't work. I don't know if it's the fuel pump that's causing it.

Turn the key to ON but not immediately to START. Listen for the fuel pump running for 2 seconds then stopping.
