My car will not start. It acts like it wants to but doesn't. I have replaced the battery, fuel filter, air filter, and added more gas. What could be some things to look at?

Cranks but no start condition:Do below to determine whether it's fuel or spark issue:

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine at least 3/16 away from ground -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, Do you hear the fuel pump come On when you turn key on? If not check fuel pump fuse and fuel pump relay if so, 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, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it.

Mmmm, easy as take apart the cranckshaft pulley or armonic ballancer pulley, clean it very well (shine metal), check the cranckshaft oil seal for leaks, clean the crancksensor very well, (interior passages), your car will start again.
