Engine cranks but won't start. Any tips/help is highly appreciated.

How's everybody doing? By the way, I was about to go to work a while ago but surprisingly my engine cranks only but won't start at all. So, I called my boy to help me out. He thought it was just a battery problem so he gave me a jump start but it won't start still. i just bought a new battery and spark plugs so I think that's not the problem. "Fuel line" is on my problem list. alternator and starter too I guess. anybody could help me out? I would really appreciate it. Thanks

Alternator won't cause the engine not to start or run.

If the starter is cranking the engine, it is not your problem.

You need 3 things for an engine to run - air, fuel, spark.

Make sure you are getting all 3 of those and at the proper time.
