The car will not start. It cranks but doesn't start. I don't know if it is getting gas (half tank) or if the plugs are firing.

Pull one of plugs attach wire and ground against head, (don't touch anything with your bare hand), crank engine, should see a blue snapping spark, if not then ign. Related.

If OK, then spray some starting fluid in throttle body, if engine runs a few seconds, then fuel problem.
