No, if you run out of gas in your FI car, there is no need to bleed anything, after refueling, they start right up. You're going to have to go back to basics, and check for fuel, air, and ignition. You're missing one of these items.

If any of the wiring harness got burned you might be looking at an open circuit. If any of the wiring went to ground or, full 12 volts the ECM could have easily been damaged.

One other thing is terminology "won't crank" actually means the starter is inoperative, it doesn't mean the starter works, and the engine won't start, and run. You need to clarify which symptom you're encountering.
