I went to the store and came back out and my car wont start. It rolls over strong, but it seems like its not getting any gas. I checked the fuel pump and it is engaging, and I checked the fuel filter and it is not clogged. I dont know what else to try. Please help me.

thank you

Welcome to the forum, If the vehicle cranks good but won't start, I check spark at the plugs first. You can pull plug boot off plug, stick known good plug in the boot, lay metal part of plug against metal part of engine, have helper crank, watch for spark at tip of plug. If you have spark everywhere, use gage and check fuel pressure.
