Thanks for choosing FixYa and welcome to the site. Have you checked for fuel and spark? The car needs air, fuel and fire to start. Since it is cranking, it is either fuel or fire. We need to test them both.
You want to make sure the fuel pump is kicking on when you turn the key. You should hear it when you first turn the key. You want to check your fuel pump fuse/relay also. You could have a clog in the fuel filter. You want to make sure fuel is getting through the fuel filter. Check your fuel lines and see if you can see fuel at the fuel injectors. You could test the fuel pressure to make sure it is correct. You could refer to your manual for the correct measurements. If the fuel checks out, you need to test for spark at the plugs.
OK. That rules out fuel. You need to test for spark. You need to take out your number one spark plug tube. You need to get a screw driver and place the metal end into the tube. You can lay it on the intake but make sure the screw driver is firmly in the tube. Place it on the intake or anything metal. Try to start the car. You should see a bright blue spark come from the plug tube. If you see the spark, you have fire. If you don't, that is the issue. If you have a spark plug tester, use it. If not, do it this way and let me know what you see.
If you are getting spark, you need to make sure it is not your timing belt. It may be something electrical. If you are not, it could be several different things, such as plugs, wires, distributor, dist.cap, coil pack, rotor, cam or crank sensor. You will need a voltage meter to test any electrical wires to parts.
You are welcome. Let me know if you need anything else and thanks for using FixYa.
