Is the engine turning over?

Are there any codes?

Is there fuel in the tank?

Need all the info you have, is the car trying to start and is there spark at the spark plugs?

....and fill out your profile as well as type in sentences so we can try and understand what you are asking. Also include location in case someone nearby can help you. You don't sound like a DIY guy. "they" does not mean a thing to us tell us who is working on your car.

So you say it does not turn over the starter correct? Do you hear the fuel pump when you turn the key on? Do you have the factory service manual? If you do not hear the fuel pump come on when the key turns on it sounds like the VATS(vehicle anti theft) ckt. Clean off your key and try again and listen for the fuel pump to kick on.DIY is Do It Yourself. these cars are complicated and hard for someone who has never worked on a car to fix.

I can appreciate the language barrier, but Redeasysport had a good suggestion. If you fill out your profile other members can tell where you are located and someone may live close enough to help. Good luck.
