It doesn't have a timing belt t_s_t and unless you don't know prob shouldn't send people on wild goose chases. Do you have any codes?

You need to check a couple of things. Take some starter fluid and pour it down the intake manifold. If its starts, you have a fuel delivery problem. If not take each one of your coils at the time, place the end of the coil close to a ground like your car chasis or engine block, far from fuel lines, crank your car and see if its has a spark. If not, sont cha ge spark plugs right away but for sure you have a spark problem. If you have spark and fuel, try to crank it with the air filter out, and give it throttle while starting or move the throttle butterfly with your fingers. If no start, check for timing, compression and a clogged exhaust. Any more information just ask

Check and see if your alarm was triggered. This will make the immobilizer trip, the car can crank and sound like it wants to start but it just won't.
