Please more details. Do your dash lights come on? Does it click when you crank it?

All the dashboard lights come on. The starter does work normally, however the engine does not start.

Suspect alarm system/security. Lookup manual. There is a way to syncronize keys.

But wouldn't the security system stop the starter from cranking? You may be right though. The only other thing that comes to mind is a disconnected (just barely) plug wire. Sorry. Them thar new computer type cars shore is corn-foosin.

I think they usually work by fuel interrupt rather than starter.

Yes come to think of it it won't even crank unless the security system is OK. Can you smell unburnt fuel from exhaust?

Actully you should hear the fuel pump whine when you open the door before you even turn the ignition key.
