Hhr did start but engine stopped
Everything was running smoothly no codes. I suspect maybe one spark plug suddenly died. The car now just clicks i dont think it cranks. Any thouths? Thanks

The alternator seems fine, at least the strap is still in place. I visually inspected the battery and it looks good, I disconnected both cable and cleaned with a toothbrush. Since I had two brand new solenoids (intake and exhaust) at home I decided to install them. Nothing. Then I tried to boost the HHR with the borrowed car and it still won't start. There is a gasoline smell everytime I try to start the HHR. Meanwhile I removed the spark plugs and took a picture you tell me if there is anything visually wrong with them :
Any further thoughts?
*I also verified oil level. Looks good.

Those aren’t the correct spark plugs , they should be AC Delco 41-103, do you have a VOM to check the voltage of the battery, it may look nice and clean but anything under 12.4 volts is a dead battery.
Have you inspected the master fuse , back by the battery?
when you turn the ignition key, do you hear the starter engage , or just a click? Or clicking like it’s trying to engage?

*The HHR doesn't seem to engage. Just a noise.
