My car hasn't been run in about 6 months. I went out to start it and it catches on the first turn over and then won't catch after. I have replaced the spark plugs and the coil. The fluids are good and it has a half tank of gas. I can't figure it out. The fuses are all good. What do you suggest next

Hello, are you saying it cranks good but won't start, or it won't even crank? If the problem is the latter, make sure the battery has a full charge and cables/wires all clean and tight on both ends. Do some testing at the starter relay, the load side of relay is hot all the time, the control side of relay goes hot when you turn the key to the crank position.

If your saying it cranks good but won't start, check for spark at the plugs and fuel pressure, to start.
