Don't laugh to hard please...

Well this evening I ran out of gas in my 92 Bonneville. I got it started and limped (spit and spattered) it to the gas station and filled her up. But, now I got a wicked misfire, no real acceleration and it wants to stall at stop lights and stop signs. There are no engine codes and I never had a problem with the car before. Any gueses on what went south?

Car has 53K and was last tuned up about 20K ago.

Thanks for your help, Vince
 
Ran out of gas.... first thing to check is fuel pressure, it may have heated up that old pump one last time. Check the fuel filter also maybe junk in the tank got pushed into it.

X2 on this one
 
and..... pull the vacuum line off the FPR and look for gas,these are known to start leaking.
unplug the maf while idling,and see if it gets better.

check make sure everything is plugged up (connectors,vacuum lines,etc). check; temp sensor(s),fuel filter as mentioned already (will pick up all the trash when running out of gas off the bottom of the tank)
