It may be a problem with your anti-theft device. Look in your owner's manual for the procedure to reset the anti-theft system. It's a simple procedure that involves sitting in the car for ten minutes with the key on and the engine not running (since it won't start). When the anti-theft light blinks and goes off, the car should start OK.
