I'd ask everyone in the S-Type section. If I could help, I would, but I can't.

Dave, you mentioned direct power to the fuel pump started her? Ok, disconnect the battery again and touch the negative terminal to the positive for 10 seconds, leave off for one hour then reconnect and start her up while holding the pedal to the floor while cranking. Check back.

the process above by bfsgross is a hard reboot procedure to clear all computer module memory. (disconnect negative terminal - car's ground, touch and hold to positive terminal of the battery for 5-10 secs) trust us, its safe

Since you ran your car dry, I'd also turn the key to the 'on' position, let the fuel pump run to fill the lines, maybe a couple minutes, before trying to crank it. The car can't instantly get fuel. That is also assuming your fuel pump is working correctly and can run.

Put more gas into it, a couple gallons may not be enough to get it all to the front of the engine. I'd fill it to 1/4 tank, at least.

And please, in the future, don't let it run out again; these cars do not like to be run out of fuel.
