The starter cranks normally, but the engine won't start - At least you know that the starter is working. If the starter cranks but the engine won't start, there could be wide range of problems. Here are some of the most common:
- Problems with fuel delivery system (e.g bad fuel pump, fuel pump relay, clogged fuel screen, etc.)
- Problem with engine electronics (e.g crank sensor, cam sensor, air flow sensor, power relay, engine computer, etc.)
- Ignition system problems, especially on older vehicles with the distributor (e.g bad ignition coil, commutator, rotor, distributor cap, etc.)
- Defective ignition switch
- Problems with vehicle security system
- Internal engine problems (e.g broken timing belt or gear, low compression, etc.)

A engine needs 3 things to run: fuel, spark, and compression. I would test for spark, test to see if the injectors are firing, and do a compression test. Did you run out of gas? does the ecu smell like dead fish or burnt electronics, I would swap the ecu out for a known good ecu. Test the MPI relay, this turns everything on, fuel pump and ecu.
