Help car wont start

I put pace setter lt's last nite and started the car no problem. So this morning i had planned to take it to the muffler shop, so i started the car and no problem starting. On my way to the muffler shop i stopped to put gas. After filling up i try to start the car and wouldn't start. So had to tow the car home. Any ideas?

Thanks

Still trying to find the problem. I was able to started after i got a jump start because i killed the battery trying to start it. Now it running like crap. I unpluged the pos, all spark plug wires and plugs, coil packs, all 4 o2 sensors, and air stuff.

Well i found the problem yesterday. I guess i forgot to plug my water temp sensor back in. The one that plugs on the head on the driver side. LOL... what a dummy. So i was able to take the car to the muffler shop. Thanks you guys for all your help.
