The igniton system may be faulty. Things to check or replace in the order that I would check them are here: They are the coil, igniton module, cam and crankshaft sensors, map sensor. Your car may be out of time due to a broken timing belt/chain, or it may have been loose and jumped a few teeth on their cogs. Check engine timing and condition of belt. These are not all of the igniton components, but the most common items that go bad. The rest of the components and sensors shouldn't cause your car not to start, but affect driveabiliy.

Standard Rules:

Replace (remove) one Wire at a time from one Spark Plug.
Replace One Spark Plug at a time. Use Anti-Seize Grease applied moderately to the threads on the new Spark Plug.

Standard Torque 15-20 ft-lbs.
Replace the One Wire connection to that One Spark Plug.
Replace that One Wire connection to the Ignition Coil.
Go onto the next Spark Plug using the above Rules.
Repeat.

Firing Order:
1-2-3-4-5-6
