Hello,
First check the fuel pump or injector to see if it is supplying fuel to the engine, if not replace the fuel pump or check if there is any blockage in the lining leading to the fuel pump/injector.
Another cause of the problem might be the battery, if it is weak, the car will only stall and not start.
Check if the battery if it is properly charged. To check if it is charged,
The charge level depends on the concentration of acid inside
the battery. The stronger the concentration of acid in the water,
the higher the specific gravity of the solution, and the higher
the state of charge.
On batteries with removable caps, state of charge can be checked
with a "hydrometer." Some hydrometers have a calibrated
float to measure the specific gravity of the acid solution while
others simply have a number of colored balls. On the kind with
a calibrated float, a hydrometer reading of 1.265 (corrected for
temperature) indicates a fully charged battery, 1.230 indicates
a 75% charge, 1.200 indicates a 50% charge, 1.170 indicates a
25% charge, and 1.140 or less indicates a discharged battery.
On the kind that use floating balls, the number of balls that
float tells you the approximate level of charge. All balls floating
would indicate a fully charged battery, no balls floating would
indicate a dead or fully discharged battery.
Some sealed-top batteries have a built-in hydrometer to indicate
charge. The charge indicator only reads one cell, but usually
shows the average charge for all battery cells. A green dot means
the battery is 75% or more charged and is okay for use or further
testing. No dot (a dark indicator) means the battery is low and
should be recharged before it is returned to service or tested
further. A clear or yellow indicator means the level of electrolyte
inside has dropped too low, and the battery should be replaced.
On sealed-top batteries that do not have a built-in charge
indicator, the state of charge can be determined by checking the
battery's base or open circuit voltage with a digital voltmeter
or multimeter. This is done by touching the meter leads to the
positive and negative battery terminals while the ignition key
is off.
A reading of 12.66 volts indicates a fully charged battery;
12.45 volts is 75% charged, 12.24 volts is 50% charged, and 12.06
volts is 25% charged.
To charge the battery, Do not attempt to recharge a battery with low (or
frozen) electrolyte! Doing so risks blowing up the battery if
the hydrogen gas inside is ignited by a spark.
Your charging system should be capable of recharging the battery
if it is not fully discharged. Thirty minutes or so of normal
driving should be enough.
If your battery is completely dead or extremely low, it should
be recharged with a fast or slow charger. This will reduce the
risk of overtaxing and damaging your vehicle's charging system.
One or both battery cables should be disconnected from the battery
prior to charging it with a charger. This will eliminate any
risk of damage to your vehicle's electrical system or its onboard
electronics.
Take care
Sounds like your alternator isn't charging your battery.
