If the dash lights come on, but the engine won't start, check the starter. There could also be a problem with the fuel line or the spark plugs. If the engine turns over, but won't start, check all of the fuel sensors. If the motor has a clicking or buzzing sound, check the alternator.

The reason it wont start when the lights don't come on is because at that point your eec a.k.a. ecu,pcm or computer isn't coming on. the causes could be ignition switch or eec relay if you can locate the relay that is the most likely cause.

That is too vague of a question. when you turn the key do the dash lights come on (two red lights on speedo). If so, when you turn the key to start the car, does the engine try to turn over? Is it turning over and not starting, or not turning over? or is nothing happening?
