check the compression on it if it turns over and doesnt start you might have fried the rings
it would be the best to buy a new starter
A lot of things, but start with the distributor, and cam/crank sensors, then try the coil
Check the crank sensor. I had a 98 cirrus that wouldn't start and that was the problem
crank position sensor
Numerous reasons... How about some background? Does it crank over? Does it fire? Has it been in an accident? Too many questions...

Crank and or Cam sensors may be bad. I would Buy both and try the Crank sensor first.
Check the main crank pulley.
The ignition switch in my wife's 98 accord went bad a few month ago. The car would randomly shut off while driving, then it wouldn't start back up for another 15 mins or so. It would crank, but not start. It's an automatic. To diagnose that the ignition switch was bad, I had the car in gear (D), turned the key to the "start" position. The car is not going to start until I put it into neutral or park. Then I'd slip the leaver into neutral, the motor would crank and start up, then I'd slip the leaver back into Drive (so the starter motor would stop).
Where is the crank sinsor on a 98 ford explorer sport
Check for trouble codes. Possible cam or crank sensor.
your ignition switch or the starter solenoid is bad try jumping the solenoid instead of the starter, if this does not work, then change solenoid
