Question

Answer
Melissa,
When the engine can crank, but fails to start, there are 3 main causes.  Bad ignition component, poor fuel supply, or poor air supply.  Changing the spark plugs may help, and it's an inexpensive and relatively easy task you can do yourself.  But if you cannot get it started, have your car brought to a mechanic for further diagnosis.  
Good luck!
