Exclamation HELP!!! car wont start

So i drive to work this morning everything worked fine. Same thing on my lunch break, no problems what so ever. Then I get off work to go home and it starts up get about 5 feet from my parking spot and then it dies. everytime i try to start it up the motor just cranks and cranks but no start. It will occasionally fire up but die right away before i have a chance to move anywhere. Im assuming spark plugs or wires or something but not sure... anyone have a better idea as to what the problem is or where i should start to look to fix the problem??

Sounds kinda like a fuel pump issue to me. Check for a bad fuse or relay first, hell have someone turn the key to the on position(not cranking) while you are near the back to see if you hear the fuel pump hum. You can even pull the line from the rail and see if it sends any fuel to the engine, just be ready with a bottle or something to catch it in. Could even be a fuel filter. Remember, you need spark, fuel and air. Good luck.

best thing to do i check for fuel. you will need two people. take a 12mm wrench and loosen the bleeder bolt on the fuel rail. its located on the drivers end of the fuel rail. turn the key and crank. if you get fuel then your issues are firing related. procede to take out a spark plug. reconnect it to the boot and ground it to the valve cover. have someone turn the key and crank again. you should see the spark from the plug. it will sound like a taser. it all honesty it sounds like a coil to me but it might be the fuel pump. do as stated above. its gonna get you to your issue. good luck
