Hello,
Generally speaking, an engine will need spark, fuel and compression to start.
If the engine is cranking over but not starting it is likely missing or having issue with one or more of these components.
It could be due to an inoperative fuel pump or issues with the ignition.
Does the fuel pump turn on when the key is in the on position?
Do you know if you are getting spark to the plugs?
To figure out what the issue is, you will have to take a look at the possible issues.
Here is a helpful guide that covers what to look for:

Please let me know what you find or if you have any questions.
Thank you.

I eventually discovered that the fuel in the tank was contaminated resulting from the last fuel I purchased.
