It's the same with all vehicle engine starting troubles... the problem is one of the following:

* Compression * Fuel * Ignition Use a compression gauge to check the compression.

Use starting fluid to see if the engine will start that way.

Pull a plug wire, connect it to a spare plug and lay it on a metal surface of the engine then "crank" the engine to see if there is a strong spark, and use a timing light to verify timing.

Eliminate whatever ISN't the problem and whatever is left IS the problem.

It doesn't matter if the engine is an old 49 Studebaker or a 2009 Lamborghini...

If the engine has compression, fuel and a proper ignition supplied at the right timing, the engine MUST run. It's simple physics.

I dont know what causes this, but my '98 Navi was doing the same thing. All I did was turn the ignition over, but not all the way (dont start the truck). Hold it in that position for about 5-10 seconds and then turn it over completely. The theft light will stop blinking and you should be able to start the vehicle.
