As you know, fuel, air, spark.

I always carry a remote starter and extra plug to check spark - just plug it in one of the wires and ground it - turn over engine to confirm spark.

Are your plugs wet after trying to start engine?

Remove air cleaner to check for air - if there is a housing, put it in place after removing element.

I had a car die on the highway because the air cleaner was clogged! This was just after a tune-up!!!
