electrical and ignition Car died, won't start L light on at ignition

[dyelightning]

I seem to have ran out of gas today on my way home from work. The car lost power momentarily going into a stop light then completely died once I stopped.

 

Initial diagnosis: I ran out of gas ( I have never ran out of gas before). My friend helps push me to a safe location off the road.

I get a gallon of gas from the gas station, fill up and try to start the engine. I am able to get the car to crank, but no start.

 

Second diagnosis: I am not getting any spark; the fuel filter has gas in it, the jets pump gas upon pushing down the throttle. The car cranks but it won't start.

I checked the cap and rotor for corrosion looks good for the most part with a bit of carbon on the surface. There doesn't seem to be any loose wiring in the ignition that I am able to see.

I am not quite sure what else could be causing the problem, the car cranks just like normal. 

Any ideas??

 

Thanks in advance.

Power to coil? Blown fuse?

[dyelightning]

Forgot to indicate that, all fuses are good. I can't check power to the coil due to not having my multi meter with me due to coming home from work. That was my next guess as it's never been replaced.

I am dealing with the same issue and it happened the same exact way. I replaced the coil already right away since they are cheap but after doing some testing it appears the issue is most likely the distributor. I ll let you know if I get my car running. Keep me updated as well if you get it runnig before me.
