Welcome to the forum. When you turn the key on, no crank, can you hear the fuel pump run for a few seconds. If not, you'll have to check the fuel pump circuit. You need to use a gage and check fuel pressure. Also, you can pull a spark plug wire loose, use known good plug or spark tester in the boot, ground metal part of tester or plug to metal part of engine, with engine cranking, watch for spark at the tip of plug. Vehicles are costly to own and maintain, no way around it.
