Some people have told me that it's my fuel pump others have told me it may be I have fouled spark plugs because like the idiot that I am, I haven't had a tune up done on it in 3 years due to money issues. I'm trying to do the tune up myself but can't locate the spark plugs on it. Can you help?

Is it a strong turn over? Does it get wearker? Have you had to charge the batter?
Have the battery and alternator tested. If those are both good, make sure they're installed and secured; check the batter terminal connections for corrosion and acid build up - clean them as necessary and apply a terminal grease compound to prevent future corrosion and build up. Check the connections on the starter. Make sure the starter €€bolts are tight, and that the starter isn't overheating or making any noises. Check the start Relay, which is located in a Relay / Fuse box under the hood, (usually a long black plastic box) Make sure the battery is disconnected before removing any relays or fuses from any fuse/relay boxes. With a fuse tester, find the two "hot" tabs on the bottom of the relay by touching the two with the fuse tester (adjustable) and watch for the indicator light to glow on the tester. If it does not glow on the two, the relay needs replaced. Also check the fusable links which are located near the battery, and/or the starter. Some fusable links are solid and will either be slightly melted, cracked, or such. Also look for bare wires. Replace any wires that are showing wires. If the fusable links all look good, there is a slight chance that one or more are bad and need replaced. There are more than one fusable links near the starter, and may need to be replaced in a "cluster". Check with your local auto parts dealer for detail about these fusable links. I hope this information is helpful in determining the reason for your car not starting.
Okay, Spark plugs will be right inline with the exauhst manifold; regardless of the position the engine sits. Look for a coil pack/distributor on the top of the engine, usually located toward the rear firewall. Follow the plug wires down. Pull them off there. Some new vehicles may have a plastic cover that is bolted to the top of the intake manifold (center top/left or top/right. Take this off, as the coil pack (distributor) may be located under that. Once you have located the distributor or coil pack, you should be able to follow the plug wires down to the spark plugs (also change the plug wires if possible. NOTE: leave plug wirtes attached to both plugs and coil pack/distributor changing them one at a time to ensure proper placement of each one. Also be sure to gap the new spark plugs appropriatly. If you don't the proper gap amount, your local auto part store dealer representative may be able to look that up for you. If you don't have a plug gapper, you pick one up for a couple bucks. I hope this information helps you in the successful replacement of your plugs (and wires).
