You car's engine needs three things to run...Fuel...Oxygen...Spark. Your engine is not getting one or all of these things, and therefore will not start. Of course you may be getting your engine may be getting some fuel, a little oxygen, and weak spark, and still will not run. Have a mechanic look at your car, could be something simple as a blocked fuel filter. Don't panic, but have a reputable mechanic check things. Hope this helps.
