I can get the key to crank over. But it does not even try to start. Everything worked great previously. I am just baffled because I would think it is the ignition. But that does not explain why the radio does not work also.

When I went to start my car the engine would kick for a second but would not turn over I checked the battery and it was good and I have gas in my tank so what would be the problem on why my car is not starting? I need to know what the problem is on why my car won't start the battery is good and I have gas but the engine still won't kick over

Need to check for spark, fuel and compression. One of them is missing.

Did you try jumping it from another battery?

When I use the remote, the car starts for a few seconds and then stops. I bought a new battery and it still does not stay running. What can cause this?

Sounds like a problem with the remote starter unit. Is it factory or aftermarket?

Check the ground wires at the strut towers. If they are okay, you need to re check the timing marks on the belt. If they are off, it is an interference motor and may have bent a valve.
Start with a compression test to confirm.
