The battery is good and so is the starter, whenever I try to start it all it does is act like it wants to but it wont turn over, we have a new alternator and the starter and the battery is good....the lights, radio, and the A/C all work. I think that it might be the fuel injector or something like that....but I dont know....and yes we do have fuel in it....we have over half a tank...or maybe its the fuel pump or the spark plugs...but could someone please help me...thank you very very much!!!

You probably need new spark plugs honey.

Are you flooding it, maybe? I am not really good at cars, but I know that if it's a stick shift you could start it by running it down the street, or having someone push it for you. Automatic ones, nope. Maybe you discharged the battery by leaving your headlights on, or sometimes if you leave your phone in the car to charge, it uses battery. Anyway... see if someone can give you a jump and you will know more. Besides that it could be a serious problem, like the computer or it could be just as easy as replacing the spark plugs.
Anyhoo... your question reminds me of this ad on a shampoo bottle I saw. It went something like: "do you ever wake up and your roots are too greasy, your ends are too frizzy and your car won't start? This product helps with two of your problems... : hahahha
I hope you get to start your car.
It might help for the geeks out there to mention the car model and year of make... stuff like that, each car has their own little 'secret' in the book of cars. :)

lol, it is true, you cant determine a bad spark plug if the engine does not even start much less a fuel injector or anything of sort. battery cables (dirty, loose, corroded) check the grounds....the main grounds you have to look for are the one from the battery to the engine....the engine to the body of the car...and the battery to the car... i hope this fixes your problem

Try this first take off the belt and try it again.
If say one of the pullys is frozen it willnot allow the engine to turn over.
If it now turns over check all the pullys to se what one will not spin.
The replace the bad part. I am not saying that this is why it will not turn over, but it can be.

It's impossible to diagnose a starting problem from afar. Get it to a mechanic who can check the various parts of the starting system and determine which one is bad.

if you know your charging system is good , then its time to make sure your getting fuel, & spark. & unless you have acess to tools & diag equipement your proably going to have to take it to a shop. i would have the fuel pressure checked first .
