It could be a few things that are causing it. When the car doesn't start, you need to check if the engine is getting spark and fuel. One will most likely be missing. Then you will know which circuit to focus on. If the check engine light is on, it is a good idea to have the computer scanned to identify trouble codes. That would be helpful.
