Default EK not starting

I recently bought my car from an auction, its decent enough. im trying to find the problem with my car.

Here are things that happend when i started the car:
i turn on the engine, the starter clicks, and then engine turns over, but theres no power. then i stoped trying, a few days later i came back to it, and i tried it, it stops turning over and i turn the key again theres no sound, then all i can her is the motor click a lot.


anyone know the problems or anything? there are some relays missing in the fuze box which i will replace, but i dont think thats the real problem. Toss me some advice and thanks for your time.

can you hear the fuel pump priming? maybe main relay

If you don't have any spark replace; rotor, cap, plugs and wire. Who knows when the last time they were changed.

Well the spark plugs work, and then i havent checked my fuel injectors yet, but i do know that it primers even tho i havent checked because when i was doing the spark plug, there was a puff of gas, so maybe i need to check that

im also about to go do a compression check to see wassap because right now i think that might be the problem
