In order for any vehicle to star is the need of all three basic ingredients:
- oxygen
- fuel
- spark

If any one of them is missing your car will not start.

Things to check for would be your secondary ignition, if you have a MAF unplug it and then try to start.

Check your fuel pump. Is there pressure in the fuel rail. If there is not then the pump is gone.

Check everything carefully. I bet it is the fuel pump because they die without many/any previous signs.

Good luck
