Hello all.
I did the unspeakable and allowed my car to run out of gas. After filling it back up and i'm pretty sure i primed the lines by cycling the fuel pump a few times. I even unbolted the output side of the fuel filter to make sure that there was pressure when I activated the fuel pump and sure enough there was a geyser of fuel. Anyways, Now i'm faced with a no spark issue. I'm curious if there's something i'm not familiar with that i'm suppose to do to reset the electrical system? I'm going to conduct some more tests today. But any feedback on this or related stories are welcome. Thanks!

The point of the fuel filter is to catch particles before they get to the inj.
Sometimes things get past, but normally your fuel filter and not your inj are what get clogged.

Regardless, they have nothing to do with spark.
If your fuel pump is working [which is sounds like it is], the ECU is seeing the engine turn over, so it's probably something to do with the coil, plugs, wires/cap/rotor.
I would check those first.
See if you are getting spark at the coil. Unless you have a 94-96 GT or an ST the coil should be outside of the dist.
I could be a bit off on the years on that, but I believe they're correct.

What year/trim is your Celica?
