Mystery problem (ignition)
Last night i started my car just fine. No issues at all.
This morning i tried to start it and it wouldn't.
There were a couple times it came very close and should have started up but it got to the RPM but then died out quickly.
I replaced the coils, plugs and wires not that long ago.
Doesn't really make any sense why it wont start.
Help.

Can you describe a bit more what happened last night? Did you start it and shut it down soon after? Did you go on a long drive?
How much fuel is in the tank?
Is the starter turning at the usual speed? (doesn't sound extra slow, in other words?)
Any odd smells, smoke or sounds?
Any other recent work done?

It started up like every other time. I did shut it off like 1 minute after.
Currently i have 3/4 of a tank.
It was turning at normal speed. So it wasn't the battery being dead.
And no smoke smells or sounds really.
I haven't really changed anything in a while.

If you started it and shut it off that quickly...I would treat it like it is flooded until you can disprove that
It is unlikely anything else just decided to fail when it was sitting
Make sure your battery has a good charge....clean the terminals and then do the deflood procedure
If that doesn't work and it is a MT...I would pull start it...if it is an AT then it is a bit more complicated. You will likely have to pull the plugs and do the more complex deflood

Life After 8K RPM....
+1 on what Dannobre said.
In addition, make sure you hook your battery up with someone else's to keep it from dying.
also, during the deflooding method, make sure you give your starter 5-10 seconds breaks to let it cool off or else you'll burn out the poor starter..
all the best.
