Starting issue. (video)
So here's the background to this story. I recently noticed that my fuel tank sprung a small leak, and have been looking to get another one, while still driving the car.
On my way home from work the other night, my gas light came on about a mile from my house and I ran out of gas shortly thereafter (more quickly then usual)
I called a friend and had them bring me gas, I put in 2 gallons and tried to start my car, it started briefly but I was unable to move it, it almost died every time I got on the gas, then my battery died from cranking/ lights being on for so long.
At this point a cop decided he would be awesome and push my car off of the highway.
I pushed it into my driveway and pulled the battery to charge it.
I got a good charge on the batt and put 2 more gallons of gas in, and started the car.
It started rough then revved up to 3k rpm then died here is a video
Any ideas on what could be wrong?
I put new platinum spark plugs in like a week ago, when I pulled them to check for flooding they were black, so I cleaned them and put them back in, same issue
any info is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
-Miles

I pulled the plugs at one point and had no spark (I assume because the batt was low) I guess I will just have to pull the fuel pump assembly and take a look at the sock
