I have the same year Ranger. When you ran out of gas, you could have blown the fuel pump in the fuel tank. Did you hear it start when you turned the key on?

What a mess. I feel your pain. I bought a computer to read codes along with both Ford shop manuals for my Ranger. Good investment to keep the old truck running.
Good luck.

Sounds to me like you have stoped up your Injectors.

Pull of the fuel filter first and see if the pump is working correctly....it should start pumping fuel out when you turn the key..if it doesnt you know its the pump.....if it does..blow out the fuel filter with an air hose and make sure its clean. Then blow out the line going to the manifold to check for obstructions. Even if the pressure looks ok there could be an obstruction in there still
