Perhaps you could give us something more to go on? All we know is you turned a corner, it cut out and now it won't start, and it was Wednesday.

I know from owning anther one years ago that the rotor arm is a common problem. The one I drive now tries to start bur struggles it's like there is no spark to ignight the fuel

Right so we've now established that your car is a petrol. That's a start.

Does the engine crank when you turn the key? Y/N

Is the cambelt broken? Does the camshaft rotate with the crankshaft? Does the engine obviously sound like it's lacking compression? Y/N

Is there an HT spark at the spark plugs? Y/N

Can you hear the fuel pump working? Y/N

Are the fuel injectors pulsing? Y/N

These are the kind of things you need to be checking. No-one can tell you what the problem is without looking. There are too many possibilities.

Do you really mean the car will not turn over. Do you hear the solenoid click.
