Never had any problems until today, went to the store a mile from my house, came out to go home and would not start. It rolls over strong and almost starts but not quite. I've ruled out the fuel pump and fuel filter so far but now I have no clue. I'm not a mechanic by no means but I still have basic knowledge of certain things on cars, but this is just got me confused. PLEASE HELP BEFORE I PULL OUT THE LITTLE HAIR I HAVE LEFT. THANKS

Do below:

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark?
