It ran fine two days ago, and then yesterday I went to start it, it will turn over all day long, but it wont actually start. We tried to jump it and it didnt do anything, you can hear the fuel running through the lines from the gas tank, but I cant figure out the problem please help.

To determine if its fuel or spark problem-do below

Get a carb cleaner and spray into the carb or the throttle body on an EFI. Did it start and die? If not disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors-
