Drove the car yesterday, no problems today it won't start. It cranks but will not turn over. I replaced a blown fuse for the fuel pump, purchased a diagnostic reader at Autozone, which shows no errors and still. It won't start. Am I missing something?

Thank you for the story, it seems that the blown fuse for the fuel pump would be an excellent place to start. Do you have a spray can of brake cleaner or something to spray into the intake tract to see if you can get the car to start? It is possible the fuel pump has failed and this is the method I like to use to confirm that diagnostic. If it is the pump (very likely) then it is under the rear seat on the right side of the car. For the pump go to Realoem. Com for price and availability. The part# is 16-14-6-766-942 and lists for $231.01
