Need Help ASAP!!!Car Won’t Start(vw beetle 01 2.0 eng)

Hey I hope you guys will be able to help me, since i know your pretty good…. well here goes nothing.. last night i came home from the movies, no problem . . . but the next morning I tried to start my car and it wouldnt start… I turned the key and the engine would crank almost as if it is going to start but it died immedaitely after cranking …. maybe within a 3 seconds time span. so far i thought it was the fuel pump so i changed it and still it remained the same, so I thought I should check the spark plugs… and O by the way my car has 50k miles on it… so i checked the spark plugs and they were completely black… so i changed those as well and that didnt work… so now i dont know what to do.. i put the key in the ignition and try to start it and it cranks but it just wont start.. so guys if there are any ideas please let me know……thanks in advance….

    Need Help ASAP!!!Car Won’t Start(vw beetle 01 2.0 eng) – You didn’t mention it so pardon if I’m asking the obvious: did you check the battery?
