    1st problem) auto or manual?
    2nd problem) check for spark at the leads, check for fuel pressure at the engine and pulse through the engine.

    Once you've established whether it's lacking fuel or spark, then you can continue

    Put in a fresh battery and see if it starts, if it does the CAS is stuffed, if it doesnt then it could be a combination of things, such as a worn starter, a dying gearbox etc

    Certainly sounds like the gearbox is on the way out. Do you have spark?
