Check if you triggered the security alarm, it will immobilize the car and not let engine start and only crank. On my 2005 Nissan Altima, I had the windows down and doors locked, my kid opened the door from inside the car without me unlocking they car first, so the silent alarm tripped. Took me few days to find out it was the problem
