My car will act like it is going to crank but it can't get enough fire or spark to actually crank all the way. I checked both computers and it is not them. what is it?

Start by checking for spark at the spark plug. If you don't have good blue spark, you may want to check your cap, rotor, and possibly the distributor. Then check for fuel pressure at the fuel rail. You should have about 45 psi. If both are good, check your crankshaft and camshaft position sensors.
