battery or starter/spark plg

Well my car started for a whole second today and then it died. Now it only cranks and thats it, my battery has been a little low but has always started right up. Shows a little less then 12v when the keys are turned to on but 0v when it cranks. The only other problems i could see causing the problem is the starter or the spark plugs since i think im running lean. Now i need a wrench socket extension to reach the plugs which i will buy tomorrow to look at them. Just want to know what you guys think might be the problem.

How are your terminals and cables? Tight? Grounds look ok and clean? Starter connection clean and tight?

Do you know for sure you have fuel and spark? If the battery shows 0 during crank would that suspect an alternator/connection problem?

So many variables lol.

Well the new battery dident do anything. Im getting it towed to the dealer and they are going to look at it for free since it was in working order before they put the timing belt on.

You needed to make a thread to figure this out?

Check and replace your fuel filter as well. I'm amazing that every car I've ever bought had what looked like the origional fuel filter. Its crazy how lover looked they can be.
