Im at work so I cant take a look at it yet but she went to get some gas and it was running just she turned it off to get some gas and when she got back in and tryed to start it it wouldnt start or turn over I had her call my dad and he tryed to jump it that didnt work so he took the battery to have it checked that wasnt it so they looked for burnt wires found none I thought maybe it was the starter but im not sure so I wanted a second opinion before I have them go buy a part what do you think

Tryed to start it it wouldnt start or turn over

If its cranking over and refuses to start do below

Get a starting fluid/ether/better off gas in a spray bottle and spray into the carb or the throttle body on an EFI. Did it start and die? If not disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, 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, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, ECM, Ignitor cam and crank sensors- Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
