The inertia fuel switch is located behind the left kick panel but is most likely not the issue when the engine runs out of fuel.

Basically, when the vehicle runs out of gas it can damage the pump, so we need to start with checking the fuel pressure.

Here is a guide that will help with this:

Once we know what the pressure is, we will have a better idea as to what the issue is, but this is where we need to start.

Please see the info below on the cutoff switch just to make sure it is reset.

Thanks
