Motor rolls over but wont start. Tried spraying fuel and starter fluid in air intake still wont start. Only thing I can think of now is spark, but I dont see any spark plugs. Can you help me locate or have any other ideas

How do a test it? With a voltage light? And do you have any other ideas in case that isn't it? It ran fine yesterday.

I tapped on gas tank and the car started. Does this mean the pump is bad or the sending unit or should I replace them both
