Could be several causes.
Battery, corroded cable terminals, start solenoid.
You have to begin to eliminate these one at a time to get to the cause.
What happens to the Theft light?
Is cranking at normal speed?
Do you hear the fuel pump run at key on for a couple seconds?
Every body dives for the fuel filter.
It won't be a cause for a 'sudden' no start.
What is the fuel pressure with a gage on the fuel rail?
Test by cycling the key to run several times.
Good luck.

so the motor is not turning over ? You hear a "click" under the hood ? Solenoid trying to pull in.. Is the battery at full charge ?
---if the motor is cranking, but will not start, is the "theft" light on center top of instrument panel ? Have you tried a second key?

clicking may be the fuel pump relay working, do you hear the fuel pump prime itself?
