Question

Answer
Tory,
There are 3 main culprits that can prevent a car from starting.  Poor ignition, poor fuel supply, or poor air supply.  Sometimes lumped in with an ignition problem is a bad timing belt.  If the belt has slipped a couple teeth or if there's a problem with the camshaft position sensor, it can cause a failure to start.  

This list is by no means all the possible causes to your problem.  The best thing would be to have a mechanic inspect it, and check the ignition timing and compression on the engine to see where the problem may be.
Good luck!
