I need to better understand what is happening. When you turn the key to start it, does the starter engage and crank the engine and the engine fail to start? OR, when you turn the key to start it, nothing happens, no noise, sounds?

I need you to check to see if it will start using starting fluid. If it does, there is a fuel issue. If it doesn't start, then we need to look at an ignition problem.

Do that and let me know what you find.

NOTE: I am assuming that when it is turning over, it sounds normal (like it always has).
