Hi,
My car cranks but won't start. I put in a new battery, new spark plugs, I did an oil change, new ignition coil and it still won't start. I bought the car a week ago, the guy said it was parked for a long time and there was nothing wrong with the car except for the fading paint. I don't know what else it could be. It does make a gulping sound right after I've tried to start it, coming from the left side under the hood. Please help.

Cranks but no start condition:

Fuel and Spark:
Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine at least 3/16 away from ground -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, coil's resistances, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it.
