Does it crank but not fire? If it'll crank but just not start you need to check a few basic things.
1.when first turning the key to the on position,listen to see if the fuel pump is priming.You should hear a quick buzz coming from the rear of the car.The fuel pump is mounted in the tank.
If you don't hear anything try banging on the bottom of the gas tank with a rubber mallet and try again.Also check your fuses and relays and make sure they're good.A bad fuel pump fuse or relay could cause the fuel pump to not work.
2.If you're fuel pump is priming fine you need to check for spark.Also check for any broken vacuum lines.Hopefully it's just something simple.I had to replace my fuel pump a few months ago.
