so about 3-5 weeks ago i ran out of gas.. car shut off, fuel pressure dropped, that whole mess of shit, good thing i was 100 yards away from my apt complx entrance. i got it restarted and drove back to my place (on fumes.. my fuel pressure gage was bouncing). went put a few gallons of gas in, it sputtered a few times while it got the air bubbles out(im guessing) then ran basically normal.

ever since then its been randomly hesitating. not at a specific rpm or anything like that, which would lead me to believe it is not timing related. did i just get a bunch of crap on the bottom of my tank stuck in my fuel system? it has stalled a couple of times(3 at the most in this whole time span)when it hesitates in neutral while im turning or stopping. i put a injector cleaner in with about 8-10 gals of gas but i havnt really noticed an improvment.

what can i check?

what should i replace first if needed?

did i break shit?

is the hesitating even related to the gas thing or could it be timing, or something else?
