2002 Volkswagen Golf won’t start after running out of gas

I left my CITI GOLF idling for sometime then the fuel was finished and it has cut off, I put fuel and tried to start but it couldn’t start. It only has a click sound on the starter.

Sounds like the battery discharged after the engine stalled, recharge the battery.

After the battery is charged, or replaced, or a jumper battery is hooked up, you might need to do the key dance to get fuel and fuel pressure up to the engine: turn key from Off to Run and after a few seconds back to Off and back to Run. Each time the fuel pump runs briefly. After several steps like this, turn the key all the way to Start.
