If it seems as though the engine is spinning faster while trying to start it, that typically means compression isn't being built properly in the cylinders. That can be caused by a variety of things, but is usually a slipped or broken timing belt. In this case, it sounds like a broken timing belt.
Loosen the timing belt cover. Pull it away from the head and have someone turn the key over to start. See if the cam gear is turning. My guess is it isn't.
