more problems!

so im driving home from work yesterday and i go to shift into 2nd and my car dies out of no where! luckly i cost into an empty parking lot.. it just cranks and cranks.. sometimes it will start but only for a split second then dies? i checked my fuel rail.. there is a little like valve stem and when i push the button in fuel comes out so that means its not the pump correct? not sure but i don't no how else to test it.. also i checked my plugs and they arn't wet so i don' know if im gettin any fuel to them.. i took a plug out and set it on metal but i didn't see spark? i don't have any idea what could be wrong.. it just had the motor and computer replaced 2 weeks ago! if anyone has ne ideas please let me know.. thanks

Re: more problems!

Plugs and/or wires could be the issue. Inspecting the wires should do the job, but plugs may need to be replaced. Do you smell gas when you try to start it?

Yes..Try Reseting the ECU. I had a similar problem before. I had to replace mine but If you just did, it might just need a reset.
