1993 Geo Prizm 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

this morning I went out to start my car and it wouldn't turn over. I had someone look at it and was told it was the starter. So I went and bought one. They put it in and it is still doing the same thing. Do u have any answers as to what might be wrong with it? It has a 1.8 liter

thanks

If its cranking over and will not start-Do below

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors- Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it

No crank at all/nothing:

Could be the starter, starter relay, park and neutral switch, and ignition switch.
