my and my family drove the car today to do some errands and it drove fine. we came home to eat dinner then i was gonna leave to the store and it wouldn't start. it sounds like its out of gas but its not. the car has a 1/4 tank. so thats not it. i was told that maybe its a spark plug, but i had a tune around a month ago. so i don't thinks that's possible. what else could it possibly be?

Cranks but no start condition:

Fuel and Spark:

Get a helper disconnect a spark plug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine atleast 3/16 in away from ground 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,coil's resistances,cap and rotor /distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, ECM, Ignitor camshaft and crankshaft sensors and computer. Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
