how low was the fuel?? if you left it to the last drop of petrol in the tank you might of sucked up some scummy stuff at the bottom of the tank, might be blocking an injector or something other than that it might be  your MAF (air flow meter) giving up the ghost, it might need replacing, common fault on the MK4
