Running out of gas

I have ran out of gas twice in my max, none really recent, but I let it get really low, like i probably had less than a few miles left, it was not getting gas the whole way there (sluggish). Anyway, what should I replace, because now it takes a little bit more to turn over when i start it up. Thanks

*i did a search, no luck

you could have fried your fuel pump since you starved it from gas which cools and lubricates it

Not likely to fry the pump, unless it's a habit, and it somehow partially burned

, but you probably already sucked up a lot of dirt from the bottom of the tank and clogged the fuel filter.

That's what i think, although it wouldn't help with being sluggish.

I would change tranny fluid and NGK sparks, plus the fuel filter of course.
