Check to see if  you can hear the electric fuel pump running. If not check the fuses. If you do not find a bad one twist the fuel pump fuse to re-new its contact, sometimes the ends corrode and loose contact.

I'm confused.
Cranks but doesn't turn over? They are the same thing. Do mean cranks but doesn't fire?
