    Hey Donna,
    No start problems can be tricky to diagnose, and almost impossible without performing a few tests on the vehicle. Do you have the ability to check for diagnostic trouble codes, fuel pressure and ignition system functionality? These would be my first tests along with testing the starting system if I suspected an issue.
