I get into my car, turn the key, and the car cranks alittle but not all the way. So I turn the key again, and it doesn't fire up it just turns over, but won't start. Whats going on here? It just started doing this four days ago. I let it sit for 2 hours after it did this the first time and it cranked right up. Didn't use it all weekend, then monday morning I get in it and it does it again.

Next time it doesn't fire up it just turns over, but won't start. Do below

Get a carb cleaner and spray into the carb or the throttle body on an EFI. Did it start and die? If not disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light.

Fuel pump/Pressure Regulator and Injector/s checks out-start checking the ignition system-power to coil, coil/s itself, distributor pick-up, control module, Cam and Crankshaft sensors.

If both fuel and spark is present-check the valve and ignition timing, this will lead you to problems with compression and valves opening and closing at the wrong time
