Is this a stalling rather than no-start problem?

Please familiarize yourself with the stickies at the top.

When the engine won't start
, have you checked for spark at the plugs and listened for whether the fuel pump primes? Is spark bright white? Any CEL codes?

Is this when the engine won't start. And there should be no yellowish color, just bright white with a difficult to see tinge of blue.

Does the fuel pump prime?

Yellowish spark could mean a blown coil.
