it could be that the fuel pump is broken, i had this problem on my dads car a mondeo. this would bassically mean that the engine is turning over but no fuel is being supplied to the engine. Not an easy part to replace for a non mechanic so your best getting it looked at.

have you checked for a spark at the plugs because these also have problems where the coil pack melts and starts to earth against the engine but you would have to remove this and look underneath the coilpack and also they are common for tdc sensors but look at the coil pack first
