car was running great but when I turned it off for about 15 min. I started it and it died right away. I started the engine about 4-5 more times with the same result and then the car quit cranking over when I tried to start it … so I turned the ignition switch on got under the car and jumped the starter, when I did so the engine cranked over but it still wouldn’t start PLEASE HELP ---

Did you check the battery? How old is it? Check your connections for tightness. ---

It sounds like there may be a problem with the fuel delivery to the engine. Check the fuel filter and the fuel pump operation. To confirm the trouble is with the fuel you can spray a small amount of starter fluid into the intake and see if that makes the engine fire. You may also have a weak battery and may need to replace it.
