Try tapping the starter with a hammer and see if it will help if not you need new starter
SOURCE: engine turns over but wont start.......
Our 97 Continental wouldn't start. Our Chrysler trained independent mechanic thought it was a theft recognition problem.
The tech at our lincoln dealership identified it as a defective mass airflow sensor but wanted an arm and a leg to fix.
She disconnected the sensor which allowed the car to start and run (a bit rough) and was able to get it back to our mechanic without needing another tow.
Got the sensor for a fraction of the cost of the dealership estimate, and possibly could have done it myself with a bit of effort.

just press the button to reset it. Per your owner manual. Should only trip in an accident.
WHen you turn on the key, can you hear the fuel pump run for 5 seconds. The pump is in the fuel tank. listen there while someone turns the key on. report back.

Is the fluid full enough? there should be a dipstick to tell where the level should be. Also is the belt tight enough? Wires loose?

you need to find which pulley is the belt tensioner. use a socket and a breaker bar to lift the tensioner. once the belt loosen, slide the belt off one of the pulleys close to you. then slowly release the tensioner.
