It is hard to say or have any clue as to what may be going on with so little information.

When you try to start the car, what happens?

You could start by checking your fuses, you might of blown one.

Check for spark, and fuel. Is ther spark coming from the coil? I recently had the same problem and it was because the distibrutor drive gear snapped, to check this just take your dist. cap off and make sure it doesnt spin freely.

I would check to see if your getting power to your ignition coil, and then if theres spark coming from the ignition coil.
