Hesitation at 60 mph and up

Hey i'm somewhat car savvy but mostly naive.

Today my car ran out of fuel and it stalled out pretty badly.
We had a friend stop by and grab us some fuel then we headed back towards town.

The car started doing the same threat of a stall and I had to push the accelerator pedal down to keep it running. The problem continues to occur but its a little more intermittent now and not as sever as it was.

Please not the cars idle is too low as it is, could this be the cause?
Also another note it also has blow by.

Im not sure what I should be looking at to get this problem resolved
