Hi, my car all of a sudden won't start, it turns over and all lights come on but just won't fire up.
What are some of the problems and how can I check to see what it might be.

H:
If it won't start, you are either missing spark, fuel or the compression is too low. Check for spark to the plugs first, then for fuel pressure.

Hi:
You may be getting fuel, but the pressure may be to low. You need to check fuel pump pressure. Here is a how to video:

As far as the gauge, many parts stores will rent them or you can purchase one at the test equipment store site on this page.

Let me know what you find.
