Check for fuel and spark - noting the age of the vehicle it may be the timing chain has "jumped"
usually this is caused by a burnt out bulb, or one that is about to go
It is getting fuel/spark/ compression?
you have either no gas or no spark maybe both
check the spark plugs. may not be catching fire.

An engine which cranks but will not start is not receiving enough fuel or has no spark. A clogged fuel filter or bad spark plugs often cause this problem.
