Default turned car off now wont start

my girls 1998 gs would not start after she cut it off today. she called me and told me what happened and said that she thought it was out of gas because the hand was on empty. she put 8 gallons in but the hand is still on empty. yesterday the tail lights went out but was working this morning. the fuel pump isn't running and the fuel guage going from empty to quarter tank. can anyone help me with this before i get it towed. i wanted to check the fuel pump but dont know which wires.

no luck getting the car started and had to call the tow truck. the tow truck driver told me to take it out of gear and it would not come out. i had to use the safety switch and the battery had a full charge.

hmm... i'm going to give this one a shot.

1. reset your ecu.
2. check for fuel at the injectors
3. check that your terminals are properly connected.

anything else, hit me back up.
