Could be bad power steering.[pump]

i assume that "power seemed normal" means that you can get engine to turn over, but not start.possible problems: clogged fuel filter, bad fuel pump, water or other impurities in gasoline, foreign matter in gas tank, faulty "electronic distributor", possible blockage of adequate air supply, broken timing chain.if i were to have to guess, it would be the timing chain, especially if car was running well prior to this problem.
