check engine lights. the dash light that comes on when something goes wrong. usually the first place to start because it give you a place to start finding how/what went wrong.

does it just turn over and over? or does it not even crank?


could be some sort of horrendous vacuum leak. Have you popped the hood to check for any loose connections with the vacuum lines?
could also be a crank position sensor.
