Car ran fine 2 hours later went to leave and started and stalled in a few seconds. Now cranks but don't start. Replaced coil pack, had the battery charged and tested. Still would crank but not start. A friend said we were not getting into fuel so we replaced fuel pump and no change. Took starter to AutoZone said it was bad, so we replaced it. Now when trying to crank over lights start dimming? So confused at this point.

Hi,

The first thing I need to know is if you have spark and fuel to the engine. Take a look through these links for help.

Also, see it starts for a couple seconds using starting fluid.

Let me know what you find.

Yes it gets spark, and it's getting gas that's why we're stumped Every time we replace something it has a different symptom when cranking, when it stalled out that day it was raining and we already knew we were going to need a new coil pack so just assuming without checking into it much we just replace the coil figured the rain made it stall and not start again so now it runs. We will take it. Thanks for your reply!
