There are several possible causes that keep a vehicle from starting. It would first be necessary to find out what the root problem is, meaning, for an engine to start and run, it needs fuel, air, and spark.
To find the failure, you need to figure out which system is being affected. There could be a bad fuel pump, failed coil, wiring issue, bad sensor, timing problem, or any number of other factors that will keep an engine from starting. I recommend having a professional mechanic, such as one from YourMechanic, perform an inspection to determine why your vehicle is not starting and suggest necessary repairs.
