Hello,

It sounds like you have a crankshaft angle sensor that has gone out which is common. When these sensors fail they may not trigger a check engine light. When you turn the key to the on position without starting the engine can you hear the fuel pump prime? If so I would do the crankshaft sensor. Here is a guide to help you see what you are in for when doing the job and diagrams below so you can see the location for your car:

Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what happens.

Cheers, Ken
