Car died and won't start! Don't really know if this is the best place for this post, but I think it is fuel related.
Last night when I was driving downtown at about 35 mph, the car just flat out died on me, and I wasn't able to start it back up. I didn't have any useful tools on me and it was 2 a.m., so I had to tow it back home. Now, I recently installed a supercharger on the car as well as new sparkplugs,fuel injectors and a new pcm, I also had the car dyno tuned about a week ago. Everything, except for a small idleing problem, has been running perfectly fine, until now. The car will turn the engine, and all the lights and stuff work, but it just won't start. I think it's a fuel delivery problem but not sure. When I turn the key over to run mode, my fuel gage dosn't move, and my SERVICE ENGINE light comes back on after it goes away for the initial 3 seconds it's supposed to come on, can't remember if that is normal though. I also had about 3/4 of a tank of gas left when it died, but the gas gage dosn't move now like I have no gas. I also installed a new fuel pump and fuel filter about 6 weeks ago. Oh, and the car is a 2000 Camaro SS
Thanks for any help

I just added about a gallon of gas, and when I tuned to car to the RUN position, the gas gage went back up to 3/4 of a tank, so I figured she would start now, and sure enough she did. Then I went up to the gas station to see how much gas I could put in there, and it only took a 1/4 to fill it full. Anyway, the car seems to be running fine now, but I am still a little worried as to why this happened in the first place.
