Put some gas in it and see if it fires, could be the fuel pump. Or your fuel pressure sending unit is fugged up. By all means dont take it to the dealership again.

That would be your fuel sending unit that tells how much gas is in the tank.

If Seafoam doesnt work, get out the KY and be ready to get that sending unit.

Keep an eye on the trip odometer too that way you know how many miles you get from a tank normally and if this happens again you can go by how far you've driven on the tank as a gauge. Just remember to reset it everytime you fill up.
