Filled my car up with gas the other day came out of the store and the car will not start. Motor is just turning and the battery keeps dying. Took the battery to AutoZone got a full charge. Try to start my car again still motor keeps turning. Sounds like it's not getting no fuel or sparks. Leave it overnight and the battery is dead the next morning. Not sure what's wrong.

Thank you but it is not the battery I had it tested and don't think that would keep it from getting fuel or a spark. The motor keeps turning as if it not get fuel to it I changed the high pressure fuel pump but that didn't help. Now I put the key in it while getting a jump and the whole dash turns black afterwards as if there is no power. Take the key out and the lights come back on.

When you say the "The motor keeps turning" I get the engine is cranking and not starting but when you let the key off the engine stops correct? Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so we can see what's going on? That would be great. You can upload it here with your response.
