Hello everyone

This is my second car and rarely drive it. It has 75K miles and its been running ok. Last time I drove it was 3 days ago with no problems. This morning. I went to start the car and it wouldn't start. All electronics worked fine, windows, radio but the car kept cranking but the needle for the RPM wasn't moving at all. I jump started thinking it might be the battery but it wasn't. Any ideas before I call a mechanic would be helpull.

Check if there is spark.If there is, make sure the engine is getting fuel.
