My car wont start it cranks up like it wants to start up but nothing I had the fuel pump changed month ago so I dont know what would be the issue now. I don't know anything about cars nor did my car come with its manual. Being a single mother with no knowledge of a man around don't help much either when it comes to things like this. Id appreciate the help with an idea of what this problem might be. Thank you.

If the engine cranks but won't start, either spark is missing, fuel is missing, the timing is off, or there is low compression. With this problem, I would recommend that you start by checking to see if the fuel pump pressure is within spec and if you are getting spark to the plugs.
