It could be your fuel pump. If your fuel pump runs out of gas you run the risk of overheating it and damaging it. Fuel pumps use the gas they pump to keep them running cool.

Rule 1 don't run a car that has a pump in the tank out of fuel, it is just like driving the car and keeping the engine running when the oil light is on, well not quite as bad.

There should be a Schrader valve somewhere on your fuel rail. You should be able to check for fuel pressure by pressing the pin in the Schrader valve to let some fuel spray out. Use a rag to catch the fuel so it doesn't get all over your engine. You should be able to borrow a fuel pressure gauge from your local auto parts store as well.
