Default 93 SC300 won't start

It's been starting up just fine every day forever. I go to start it today, and it just cranks and cranks. Drove it all over town last night, but today nothing. No funky noises last night, no hiccups, hard start issues, etc.

I tried jumping the wires in the diagnostics port in the engine bay and in the cab, and no CEL comes on at all. It doesn't flash, it doesn't stay there, it just doesn't come on at all. I'm trying to figure out where the fuel feed line is so I can pull it and see if it's getting gas but I have no clue how to get to one since the fuel filter isn't in the engine bay and easily accessible.

If I can get some help I'm going to pull the wire from the coil and see if it's getting spark. I've been cranking it and there is no smell of fuel being dumped that isn't being burned, and after a couple small spritzes of starting fluid it sound like it wants to fire but nothing really.

I pulled the wire from the coil and put it up against a shock tower bolt and there is absolutely zero spark coming out of that thing. I figured with it sounding like it wanted to start on a little bit of starter fluid it'd be fuel, but it appears to be at least a spark issue.

When my car did that it was a dead ECU.

I would hope not, since I had it rebuilt about a year ago
