Got enough fuel to start?

Is it cranking fast enough to start?

Check fuel pressure

Check spark

check compression

If this car uses a timing belt and it snapped, the engine might be spinning over WAY faster than normal

No timing belt, chain… But all the other advice is spot on.

Possible that the gas you’ve had in the tank for 2 years (did you use fuel stabilizer???) has gone bad and driving it around just clogged the injectors with bad fuel. Or something else on this 24 year old car broke. It happens.
