Hello,

There are number of reasons for a vehicle not to start. It could be due to a bad battery, faulty starter, not getting any spark to the plugs, bad fuel pump etc.

When you try to start it what does it do? Does it crank over? Make any noise?

Have you tried to jump start it?

Provide me with little more details of what you are experiencing.

This can help with the diagnostics.

Thank you.
