My car has been sitting for about 6 weeks. I tried to start it. It cranks but doesn't start. Any suggestions?

If you turn the key to the on position without cranking the engine over, can you hear the fuel pump on in the tank for about 5 seconds? If not, we can use starting fluid to confirm it is a fuel problem. If the engine run, I would replace the fuel pump and the fuel pump relay. Here is the location of the relay and how to change out the fuel pump. Here is a generic guide that can walk you through the steps with instructions below for your car.
