Re: car cranks but wont start

The 2 most common causes in no particular order:
a) lack of ignition (spark)
b) lack of fuel in the cylinder

Ignition is the easiest to check for -- use a timing light, or just remove one spark plug boot, place it close to a ground, crank, and look for sparks in the dark.

if theres no spark, does that mean spark plug is bad or ignition coil is bad?

The lack of spark can mean quite a few things, but not much about the spark plugs themselves.

You have 2 choices now:
a) buy or borrow a battery charger
b) call a shop and let them do the work
