Mike....Sounds like the CPS or maybe UVCH on the valve covers.
When was the fuel filter changed last?Have you done the In Tank mods yet?Those socks could be stopped up.

Could be fuel pump. When you turn on the switch can you hear the fuel pump run for a few seconds?

Also, how low was your fuel? Is your oil clean and full?
