Does it crank over?
If not check fuse 52 & replace with 20 amp not 15.

If it does not crank over then see the start enable process in the Wiki.
You need to check if auto.
Interlock switch on the gearshift - will only start in P & N with foot on brake
Crank position sensor
Temperature sensor
Starter relay in front SAM
Starter motor solenoid & motor.
Earth & power straps.
Good luck!

By crank I mean does the starter motor turn the engine over but the engine does not run or does it not turn the engine over?

I think you mean that the starter motor is inoperative. Check the list above.
