There could be several reasons why a 1996 Sunfire will turn over but not start. The most common reason is a spark plug needs to be replaced. Check with a licensed mechanic for further help.

Key won't turn or it does and the engine won't turn over?
Can you please provide more information ? such as: any noise when you turn the key? does it try to start but just wont turn over? what kind of a vehicle?
If it will not turn over you have an electrical problem. Start by removing the battery cables and cleaning the cables and battery posts. If that does not solve the problem, then put a charger on the battery and let it fully charge. Turn on your headlights and try to start the car. If it still will not turn over and the lights do not dim you probably have a bad starter or starter solenoid. But make sure your battery is good. If you can jump start it with another vehicle the battery is bad. It can also be a defective ignition switch.
You could have a fuel pressure problem, lack of spark, malfunctioning computer, or internal engine damage.
