Default please help... getting fuel no start

first of all i posted in this forum because way more view..and the more minds the better.. i have a 2007 saleen extreme with 25000 miles.. never had any problems out of it till today.. i keep the car stored in my grand paws shop and i went to get it today, crank it up, it started stumbling and died.. i noticed the gas hand was below E, i went to the gas station and put 10 gallons in it went to start it and it would hit and keep spinning over.. now it will crank freely but acts like it isnt getting any spark you can hear the pump run and smell gas so i know its getting fuel..i tried the pump reset,,, ive tried resetting the battery i have no clue what is wrong ive tried getting out of the car locking and unlocking it.. i hooked my scanner up to the car and it threw a ignition coil code so i reset it to see if it would help but nothing and i didnt write down the code so im really not sure what it could be.... any help will be greatly appreciated!!

Dont mean to sound like a smart a$$, but if you threw an ignition coil code shouldnt that be the first place to look? Look up ignition coil codes and try and see if you can remember which one it was. If your getting fuel, than the reason it wouldnt start would be that you werent getting spark. If anything, pull the plugs and check them since its not that hard.

I know what your saying, not like the old cars where you can just check back to the distributor. This is honestly why having the code would make things 10x easier right now. Did you ever mod the car, or have a custom tune put in or is it bone stock?

i didnt think the code was a big deal because of it running out of gas i figured it might have tripped it with the rough idle... thats the only reason i cleared it out

i'm thinking it's either fuel filter, fuel pump or maybe the car
got flooded after putting in the gas and trying to restart (although
it seems unlikely).

If he wasnt getting any fuel its not flooded. That code isnt just something that just popped up cause it wanted to, it was telling you something on why it wasnt starting. Read the thread I just posted and follow the steps. Like I said checking all plugs is a good place to start

Two possibilites that I can think of. Reach under the dash on the drivers kick panel and reset the inertia switch....happened to me. The other aligns with a conversation that I just had with Brenspeed. According to them if you flood the car....the plugs are toast. I'm not sure that I agree with them totally. I have a problem with my car flodding on cold statup and that is what they told me my problem probably was. My car runs great after you get the cylinders cleaned out. If you did to flood the plugs, maybe you toasted them.
