Do you have spark, fuel and compression?? Check to see if you are getting spark. Thats the easiest to check.

when you turn the key to the on position (right before you start it), do you hear a humming noise from the back seat?

maybe you main relay is bad, this controls the fuel pump.

ok, so the car started then turned off? when was the last time you had a tune up?

tune up, replacing:
fuel filter
dist. cap
dist. rotor
plugs
wires

fuel filter is located on the firewall. just follow the fuel line on the left of the fuel rail. it'll run left to right from the rail to the wall.

the dist. cap, rotor and wires are located on the distributor. it is on the left of the motor on top. your spark plug wires run from it to the top of the motor.
