Hello, I'm Danny.

First thing you need to do is to see if you're getting spark and fuel causing your crank-no start condition.If you don't have access to spark tester or fuel pressure tester most auto parts stores have a tool loaner program and can rent you one.Here are the tutorials showing what is involved:

After you perform these tests get back to us with what you find and we'll go from there.Also, Is the check engine light on? Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.
