This, and if it does, the injectors may be clogged from setting so long, or the fuel lines for that matter, the fact that you said the tank was empty, means the crappy gas evaporated, and this leaves a lot of crap in the tank, so the intake could be clogged up, the fuel pump could have dried out and be bad, a number of things "Could" be the issue, but if you're getting fuel pressure at the filter, then the lines and pump seem to be working, and I'd get the injectors replaced or cleaned

Just some thoughts...
