I have a 99 Pontiac sunfire that turns over but will not start. What could be the problem?

it could be anything from a clogged fuel filter to a blocked fuel pump, or losing spark in the distributor cap. if your Pontiac has the PASSLOCK security system in it. turn ignition to on position... but do not start... for (10) ten full min. then turn key OFF for (10) ten more FULL mins. then try to start your car. if this works... REPLACE BATTERY IN KEYFOB (keyless entry keychain device) It may sound crazy but it will work.
