Hi,
Was the check engine light on with the engine running prior to the no start? Is the starter still engaging and turning the engine or does nothing happen when you turn the key?
If the starter is working, first take a look through this link. It discusses the most common causes of a crank no start condition.

I want you to try something. See if it starts for a couple of seconds and then stalls if you use starting fluid. If it does, then we know it is a fuel-related issue. If it doesn't change, then it's likely ignition-related.
Let me know exactly what is happening. Also, if you could record it cranking and upload it for me to hear, it may help.
Take care,
Joe
