Are you getting fuel? Will it start with starting fluid?

As far as the weak spark, it could be many things such as a coil, crank sensor, ignition wires.

Has the check engine light come on?

Yes getting fuel, no it would not start with starting fl. Cleaned batt. Cables, put in new plugs, had blue snapy fire started and run good park it out side over night, wont start, it acted like it wanted to start and finally started after cranking on it for a long time, after it starts and warms up it starts and runs fine could it be the fuel pump, or could it be mass air flow?
