I would check fule pump relay... Doe u hear the fuel pump runnning briefly when u turn the key on at first?
relays are a common thing to replace.. That woudl be first thing i would check. next step if thats not it is to see if the fule cut off switch has been triggered by hititng hard bumb or accident.. that usually cutts pup off all together so it wont even try to start
SOURCE: wont start
well if it dies after 15 20 min, then ide check your alternator cause that's what recharges the battery. just pull it out bring it to checker or auto zone or advanced wherever you go and they can tell you if it bad or not

I would start with a compressoin check. You should get more then 160 psi on each cylinder on a cold engine. If these numbers are low, then the timing belt is your likely issue. Since these engines are non-interference (don't let anyone tell you different) you can just put a new belt and pulley kit on and be done with it. I even have a how-to for this in my tips and tricks on my profile.
A bad MAF (mass air flow) sensor can cause rough running problems. This is easily tested by unplugging the MAF (4 or 6 wire plug) from the vehicle to see if running improves. The connector for the MAF can be found on the front of the airbox just after the air filter locking ring.
If that isn't the issue, a fuel pressure test is an order. You should see around 45 psi with the engine at idle and 60 psi with the engine off and key on.
