Re: Engine turns over but seems like not getting gas to...
Disconnect the fuel line at the fuel rail, crank for a second if it doesn't have a bleeder valve. (looks like valve on tire) If no gas comes, change fuel filter, and check fuel pump while down there.

Hi Charles:
I'd start by checking the spark plug condition and function.
Wet........... no spark
Dry............ no fuel
Check for spark anyway. Hot and blue.
Try priming carb with a squirt of gas.
Drain and flush carb. You may need to remove and thoroughly clean if gummed up.
I HAD SIMILAR PROBLEM MY 2005 PT SUDDENLY JUST SEEMED TO CHOKE DOWN AND PUSHING ON GAS PEDAL MADE IT WORSE SO I LET UP ON PEDAL AND THEN SLOWLYMPH ACCELERATER BUT I WOULD ONLY GO ABOUT 50 MPH AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON I CHECKED OIL IT WAS FINE I THEN PUT A CAN OF SEA FOAM IN GAS TANK AND DROVE SLOWLY A WAYS THEN SPEEDED UP IT RAN FINE SEEMED TO BE DIRTY INJECTORS OR FUEL PUMP. I WNT ON HOME THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON THE NEXT MORNING THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS OFF AND IT HAS RUN FINE EVER SINCE
Disconnect the fuel line after fuel filter, after fuel pump and at carb one at a time to see if it's getting gas anywhere when you turn the ignition to see what the bad part is.
Check Spark and Fuel, one is missing. If both are there then floor the gas padle and try again, donot pump gas as the spark plugs get flooded with gas and wont fire up the engine.
could be the fuel filter or fuel pump. to check the pump remove the fuel line from in front of the filter and put a container in front of the line to catch any gas, turn engine over and see if you get gas pumping from tank. if so try replacing filter.
if it seems to be getting fuel let it set for a few minute, turn on the key without cranking the engine, then crank engine do not step on the gas pedal. if it still doesn't start check your fuse. if the fuse is good, then your problem might start to get a little expensive.
Sounds like this maybe a timing belt has slipped (no Compression) if the engine seems to turn over faster than normal you should or the engine is not getting fuel you can use brake parts cleaner spary in intake and see if it fires up if it does the engine is not getting fuel - possible fuel pump
