There are several different possibilities it could be. It could be the fuel pump, fuel pump relay, ignition coil, ignition moduel, just to name a few. Before cranking the vehicle, turn the key to the on position and see if you hear the fuel pump. It'll sound like a high pitch whine. You can also tap on the fuel tank with a hammer, then see if it'll start. If so replace the fuel pump. If it doesn't start the pump could still be the problem. If the vehicle is getting fuel then look into seeing if the vehicle is getting spark. If your not sure how to check for spark, find someone who does know. You can shock yourself if you don't do it correctly. Let me know if you want do it yourself and i'll try to guide you through the best I can. Good luck
