Car Cranks but Won't Start Up

[Comanchakazie]

Alright, so the car started up about 2-3 weeks ago when I bought it. I can't really drive it around, because it didn't pass emissions, so it's been sitting in the AZ heat. A few days ago I tried starting it so it wouldn't die, and it wouldn't start. I jump-started it, and added starting fluid, but nothing has gotten it to start up. Any ideas what it could be or what I should check? Sorry for the long post

How do I do that?

Pull each spark plug out and hold it close to a ground and turn the engine over. Or take a light tester or ground and take the coil wire off and see if there is spark there

There is this.

Also, crank sensor, and asd relay can be culprit also.

Attempt disco crank sensor and plug it back in, see if it fires

Hm. I found one for 5 bucks, think I'll trying picking it up later today. Hopefully all goes well!

Like Pete said, check you're getting spark. While you got the plugs out make sure they are still good and it won't hurt to just throw some new plugs, wires, cap, and rotor on if you haven't already. A quick tune up can solve many issues.
