We need more information here. Is the transmission auto or manual (if you look in the service manual, page 8W-10-9 you will see why I ask)?
Do the dash lights (EAS, etc.) come on when you turn the key to start?
Does the dome light dim any when the key is turned from "off/lock" to "run" and then to "start"?
If the car is a manual, will the engine start if you roll the vehicle and release the clutch?
Were there any problems or warning signs from the car leading up to this failure? Was anything not working or acting up?
Are you saying that the engine cranks but does not start? Or are you saying that it won't even crank over? (I know these last two questions are irritating, but you'd be surprised at how many people confuse "no crank" and "no start")
