Timing. Ignition timing.

while trying to start it does it almost start or does it back fire????

timing belt or dissy or maybe compression but youve got to be carful if its flooding otherwise it will dulute your oil

yea if you get backfires that means theres visible life....Such as the right components of air fuel and spark....You just need to find out which element is out of order thats preventing the motor to start....

possible causes/not enough or too much fuel-air....aka Injectors/crank position sensor?/FIRING ORDER/Timing//bad compression/a couple of bad spark plugs/maybe some bad wires/Distributor malfunction/fuel pump/votages/clogged exhaust/and any unplugged harnesses or sensor...

Most Likely your ignition timing if off...
