Hello,

There are several factors for an engine not to start. Usually if the engine cranks over but not start, it can be either the engine is not getting fuel or not getting the spark. Which could lead to bad ignition component or faulty fuel system component.
Have you checked to see if it getting spark?
Did you usually hear the fuel pump come on before the issue? Some cars you can hear it come one very easily, others not so much.
Here is a guide to help diagnose a typical no start issue:
