sc400 getting no spark from either side help
I was driving my sc400 the other day and forgot to get gas I started and went three different places. The last time I started it it started and shut right of it sounded like a lack of gas well got it home and put gas in it still doesn't start did a spark test on each side and the car is getting no spark. Wires and splugs change recently pattinum 4 splugs time and belt already done just change oil and change the fuel pump in jan I needs my baby up and running anybody knows what wrongs r had the same issues

To go aheard and rule out fuel as the issue, prime your pump. To do this, turn your car all the way to 'on' but don't crank it! Wait ~3 second then turn it off. Repeat 2 more times and try starting it again. Your coil may have just died. Though not common, it happens. Is the distributor driven by the timing belt or no?
