No start V6 HELP

I took my car out of my garage to fit some parts on it, well anyways I can't start it now when I try to jump it. I put some gas in the tank cause it was real low but still no start. I can turn the key and the car is trying to start but seems that it can't, it comes closet to starting when it starts to stutter but still no start. I gett fed up now and got to get to work, not with the car though. I know it shouldn't be flooded cause I coulnd get it started before too. I just want my baby back up and running. I dont think its flooded cause it would have dryied up by now. I think I may change the spark plugs anyway though. what else u think it could be. HELP Please!

if battery is completely dead, it will not jump. check fuel pressure (key on-engine off ), is there any spark?

edit: try starting in nuetral, could be the safety switch

I ran my tank realllllllyyyyy low one time and had to let the fuel pump prime 3 times. Turn the key to the on position but don't start it. Wait for the pump noise to go a way. Turn key off and repeat a couple times. Then try to start.

Sounds like the same problem I had last month. Culprit was a dead coil.

My Dad told me I got to charge the battery a little just to jump it, cause the battery is pretty much fully dead. SO now its time to find the battery charger

I think you've fouled some spark plugs. My car does that cause I sits for a while and I start and move the car for a few minutes. Oh I cant wait to drive the car daily.
