Check for codes.

If you have a stock LP you can almost bet it is toast and possibly took the IP with it.

Sounds like you ran out of fuel. You still need to get a good aftermarket LP and a FP gauge.

again, get a fuel pressure gauge...you would be surprised at how early that gauge can warn you when there is a fuel problem...

starving the injection pump for fuel will cost you a good $1000 + labor if you kill it...
