The order to check is ignition, fuel, compression.

If you're sure about the ignition and fuel systems, do a compression check.
You might have a broken timing belt.

A car without compression will sound like it's "free wheeling" when you
try to start it. It won't have the "groan groan groan" sound that is normal.
