What is your question?
I was able to start my car about 10 days ago, took it out for a test drive, while out, it stalled, and had a hard time starting up again, once I was able to get it started again, I took it home and that is where it "died". Since then, I have changed the plugs, wires, filter, and now the battery. I have tried to start it several times, but, it will not "catch". What am I missing??

Have alternator tested but, I am not sure that is the issue. It sounds like a fuel flow issue. Need to check that you are getting fuel. This could be a fuel pump or fuel filter issue. Need more info. on what it is doing when you try to start the vechicle. Try starting and then pull a spark plug out. If a strong fuel odor is not present then the issue is in the fuel delivery system.
The fuel filter is brand new...I even had to repair a small section of the line as it was rotted and fell apart mid project..but I will check a plug to see if fuel is being delivered...the engine turns over but is not starting...i can hear the fuel pump kicking on and have checked my fuel regulator..it has plenty of fuel and has good pressure... could this be a coil pack issue?
Absolutely could be a coil pack issue....but you usually get a check engine light when you get that kind of misfire. Is the check engine light on? If so, need to have the codes pulled to be sure.
Definitely was the coil packs..changed the whole unit out this afternoon..ITS ALIVE! once again!..lol...thanks f or the advice though..it was super appreciated:)
