Do you mean it cranks over and refuses to start or won't crank at all?

If it can crank-do this spray into the throttle body with a starting fluid and see what happens then report back-

THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY -- I SPRAYED THE STRATING FLUID IN THE THROTTLE BODY & SAME THING - CRANKS BUT NO SPARK.
JUST AN FYI - IT HAS BEEN PARKED OUTSIDE IN SOME COLD TEMPERATURES AND AN ICE STORM. ALSO IT HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN FOR A FEW DAYS BUT RAN & STARTED PRIOR - POSSIBLY A CONCIDENCE WITH THE TEMPERATURES?

Lets look for spark-disconnect a sparkplug wire and ground it to the engine and have helper crank engine over-do you have spark?

Could be temperature related-
