just a shot in the dart but it is probally has nothing to do with your spark plugs and everything to do with ur alternator going bad see if u can get a jump start and then take off one of ur battery terminals it starts, one other ? is it a weak turn over? if it dies if it starts when u take off battery terminal its ur alterantor

so im really stumped on this one, my fuel pump is pushing fuel and motor is turning over, it has compression equal in all 4 cylinders. Given that it is fuel injected, is there a fuse or a relay for the injectors? im pretty sure its getting spark but nothing is turning over
