i'd start with the battery. (that was my problem) Next have the alternator and starter checked. If that is all ok, check the wires on the spark plugs. Take off one wire, hold it with a heavy rag and put the end 1/4" from a metal (non- painted) surface. Have someone try turning over the engine and look for a spark. If there is no spark, try it with another wire. Still no spark...you may have a bad distrubtor, wires or a bad coil. I hate electrical problems....they just suck. When a car won't turn over, it usually an electrical problem somewhere. If if cranks the engine but no fire, it can be electrical or fuel....twice the fun to find the problem in that case.
