The problem started last night when I was driving it and go no acceleration when pushing the gas pedal. So, I got it home, turned it off and then tried to start it in the morning and it wouldn't start. We just had the spark plugs changed and the coil pack changed it also was making a very loud sound from passenger front side of the car.

Hi,

Can you describe the noise you hear? Also, did this happen right after the spark plugs were replaced?

Here is the thing, when you have a crank no start condition, in most cases the engine either loses fuel or ignition spark to the plugs, since the plugs and coil packs were just replaced, I have a feeling the power to the coils was lost. A wire may have been damaged.

So, here is what I need you to do. First, check to see if there is spark at the plugs.

Here is a link that explains how it's done:

Let me know what you find.
