I have a 2001 Monte Carlo SS. It's been working well for a while now. I got in to go home from work, and the car cranks and cranks. It will not start. Once I looked at the information center, it states the car is out of gas. There is no way. this morning when I drove it to work I had 3/4 tank left. I don't live in an area that is subjected to vandilizm, so I doubt it was someone cyphoned out the gas. And I did not see a large oily puddle around the car at any time today. I checked all the fuses that pertain to the fuel system. They are all unblown. I also disconnected the battery for a minute, to no avail.
If anyone has ANY Ideas, I would greatly appriciate it.

Hey Matt,
What does your fuel gauge read?

I would follow up on the warning signs first. If it tells you it's out of gas, prove it wrong. With gas the way it is today, no one is safe! Now days the ole rubber hose and a mouth full of gas is long gone, they now punch a hole in your fuel tank attached to another tank and they are off quicker than before.
Next, if in fact you have plenty of fuel, I would suggest it's computer related.

Thanks for the reply!
The gas gauge reads that it is empty. Below empty infact. However the gauge will rocket to full briefly durning the cranking process. (I think after i let go of the key.) I am going to add some gas to it and try that. I will let you know.

Before you do add fuel, check the tank to make sure there are no holes or rips in it.

I put in a gallon of gas, and I still have the same problem. Cranks and no start.

The gas tank is also intact. There are no drips or anything of the sort.
