1. order (timing) =if u did not change timing belt, distridutor=it is not your problem.
2.gas=any gas coming to engine? check (I ussually snif it. I f gas is coming u can smell it (from carburator)
3.electro=take one spark plug out, keep electrode close to engine metal (5mm), somebody turn starter for youcouple seconds,if u see blue spark between sparkplug and engine metal-spark is good.
there are no other reasons not to start.
if u get ur reason-say electro, u start work on it(fuses first)could be many reasons:pickupcoil,computer,etc,but in electro only to bad things:bad contact or very good contact(short cut).
in short:modern cars very comlecative=need to print big book.
