Re: Trying to turn over, but she just doesn't go.
HOWEVER!!! Do not let the spark get you. Put a screwdriver into the wire and ground it to something and have someone crank it over while you watch. Do NOT touch any of the grounds or the wire. I don't believe our cars have enough umph to kill you, but it will hurt like hell.
For fuel by cracking the banjo bolt on the fuel filter you can test presure there. Can try cranking the car but you'll make a horrible mess when you do if it's working. But there can still be residual fuel in the line and it's not he best way to test the system. But one of the easier, can rule out clogged fuel filter or pump at once. If you get no fuel, you can test back by the pump by removing the line coming from the pump and if you still get no fuel... you know it's pump related. Fuse, relay, ecu, pump it's self. Makes the search shorter, but not always easier.
Compresion test will also let you know if you've got a broken timing belt as well, but taking the top cam gear cover off will show you if it's the culprate or not. Should be half a dozen bolts to remove and easy to get on/off. Shouldn't have to replace anything by doing that either. If you crank it, and the cam gears don't spin, you could have a broken timing belt, but that should be easy to see right away, should be bound up or no belt visual on the cam gears right away.
Lots of little tests to preform, but the general rule of thumb, you need one of three things to start a car. Fuel, Spark and Compresion. Figure out which you don't have, and fix it, and the car runs.
