I pulled over one night, turned off my vehicle, and when I returned a minute or two later my engine would not start. The electronics were still functional, but my car would not start. I have tried to jump star the car, (not sure if ive done it right). The P (!) Sign lights up as well as the check engine sign. When I turn the key to start there is a faint woooouuuuuunn like its trying o get power or something. I know nothing about cars, any suggestions?

Is it cranking over and refuses to start? If so do below

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 related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors- Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
