My car was running just fine I parked it and came back on the morning and it would not start. I have no idea what it can be I'm getting fuel but no spark. It just cranks and cranks but won't start.

Hello,

Please check for spark first here is a guide.

If no spark I would change the crankshaft angle sensor. Here is a guide to help with diagrams below to help you see how it is on your car.
