Well ok, after all day of driving around yesterday I went out today (this afternoon) to start my car and it didn't start. It cranks and cranks and cranks but nothing happens. I am going to have someone come out with me to check and see if the pump is turning on. After that should I just check for spark? Is there anything else I should check?

It cranks and cranks and cranks but nothing happens. I am going to have someone come out with me to check and see if the pump is turning on. After that should I just check for spark? Is there anything else I should check? i would start by removing your air intake from your throttle body to ensure that your getting air (unless your turbo'd) push all your spark wire tubes in; to ensure they're all connected sound. hit your accelerator a few times to force gas into the motor and try starting again. If it even to turns just a little bit, then it's getting spark; if there is nothing restricting the air, then it is fuel. Before you go out and buy a new pump, remember to try changing the filter first. Those things Can clog up... For it to die AFTER you parked it, leads me to doubt it was the fuel pump. A pump will go out on you while driving down the road... but it'll go out while sitting too. Some times those things dont give any warning... *EDIT* x2 check your dist. Cap also, there are 2 screws holding it on. Make sure it's not loose. Make sure the wires are sound into the cap as well.
