I was in a hurry and I forgot to fill up my gas tank and ran out. Got a gallon from a station nearby and load it, then I turn the ignition for few seconds so the fuel pump enough pressure the engine starts with hesitations and dies. It never happen before. I was able to drive it to the station and fill some more of my usual premium gasoline and it run a little better but there's still hesitation. Next morning it was really hard to start it won't idle and running rough for more than ten minutes. Now, every time I turn the engine off I would warm it for a few minutes before driving with hesitations. I changed the spark plugs but nothing happens and it gets worst. Any suggestions?

Has the engine harness and/or Throttle body (with it's own harness section) ever been changed? Sound like the start of the typical biodegradable wiring harness issues.
