Hi there. Check the camshaft position sensor and see if its plugged in. If the sensor is plugged in and the engine will crank, then the camshaft could be out of timing and needs to be reset. If the engine will not crank over, then it is possible that the timing belt could have came off. If you need further assistance with your engine not starting, then seek out a professional, such as one from Your Mechanic, to help you.

First, you want to make sure your cooling system is full. Check the radiator not the coolant jug. And check it when it is cold. If it needs coolant, add some (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/how-to-check-and-add-radiator-fluid-by-ian-swan). Of course, I don't feel this problem is...

Hey there. From your description it sounds like it's either a simple starter relay (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/starter-relay-replacement) or an ignition switch (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/ignition-switch-replacement) not making contact. I recommend trying to move the shifter into neutral and see if it will start from there....
