First, check the starter motor and make sure it is not worn out or malfunctioning. If it is, it will need to be replaced. Then, check the ignition switch and make sure it is functioning properly. If it's not, it will also need to be replaced.

Another possible issue could be a faulty fuel pump. Try turning the key to the 'on' position and listening for a humming sound coming from the fuel tank. If you don't hear anything, it could mean the fuel pump needs to be replaced.

It's also a good idea to check the spark plugs and ignition coils. If they are dirty or worn out, they can prevent the car from starting. Cleaning or replacing them may solve the problem.

Finally, make sure the engine has enough oil and that all the belts and hoses are in good condition. Low oil levels or damaged belts and hoses can cause the car to not start.
