How old is your spark plug? Because if you're getting good fuel and spark but no ignition, then I'd replace the spark plug first. But be sure to get the correct plug for correct operation. A spark plug can have a spark but still be bad. A white spark means a dead plug, a blue or pinkish color means the plug has proper ignition.

My 2002 malibu ls wont start it will turn over but wont fire my check engine light is on but that in no other lights on no window no power locks nothen how do i fix it

If it cranks good but won't start, have a helper crank it while you visually check for spark at the spark plugs. If spark everywhere, check fuel pressure and fuel injector pulse. Go from there.
We can also check circuits for power windows.

Spark plugs

If the lights won't even come on, the spark plugs are not the cause of that problem.

Make sure the battery cables at the opposite ends from the battery are connected tight and corrosion free.
Check that all the fuses are good.
For some reason the power isn't getting from the battery (if it is in fact charged up) to the electrical circuit (blown fuse, loose/disconnected wire, etc).

Truck wont start engine turns but wont fire

If the trucks turns over and does not seem like the battery is dead I would assume it is spark or fuel. Check spark plugs to make sure they spark. Pull one plug at a time hold it against side of engine and have someone turn the truck over for you. You should see bright spark from all spark plugs. If you do see spark then check your Fuel Pump to make sure it is getting power and is opperating correctly also check your fuel filter to make sure it is not plugged. Good luck, Hope this helps.

1994 diamante wont start. battery is good, car started earlier today. tried to start car, lights all work, fuel pump turns on, car wont start. any suggestions

check to see if there is any spark from the spark plug. Take out a plug and hold it (in pliers) close to a metal part of the motor and get someone to turn it over. you should see a small spark. If not then check dizzy cap and rotor

Stalled at stopsign wont start cranks good

either no fuel or no spark-when you turn the key to 'on' can you hear a buzz (only lasts about a second or two) from the rear of the van? If so, find the top metal rail on the engine that has a light green plastic cap on it, and (with a towel placed over it) remove the cap, turn on the key (to run, not start) and push in the center pin to see if a good, strong stream of gas comes out (use the towel to protect yourself from a gas bath). No stream, you will probably need to replace the fuel pump, which involves dropping the fuel tank. If it passes these tests, you need to check for spark.

Do this (with a helper) by removing a spark plug cable from a plug, insert a screwdriver tip into the boot and hold the handle/metal shaft close a metal surface of the engine (within 1/4 inch). You should see a electric arc jump the air gap to the metal when your helper turns the key to start. If no arc, you probably need to replace the pick-up coil which is located under the rotor inside the distributor, this is the most common reason for a no-start condition.

97 sebring lxi, 2.5L - car died leaving driveway. wont start. been running fine, no noises, hiccups and nothing when it died. battery good, changed plugs, fuel pump buzzes when key is turned, engine cranks...

first thing you got to do is determen weather its electrical or fuel problem, you can take a test light and hook to a ground and the light end to a spark plug and see if it lights while someone turns over engine, if it lights you got spark. if its got spark, on to fuel, take fuel pressure test, don't think because you can hear pump working does not mean it is, it can sound like it is but its not, at least putting out enought pressure, not the correct amount it will not run. pumps will go out just that way with no warning at all.
