Trying to start my car, it turned over and made a little attempt but never started. Now it just turns over without catching. I trid a squirt of starting fluid in the throttle body but even that didn't make it fire. It turns over great but won't start. Any help?

Looks like you have it narrowed down a little better. Sounds like ignition and/or compression are the next things to check.

You need a spark tester to see if plugs are getting spark.
