Check you knock sensor. It may be bad/cracked/loose or broken wires. If thing is not connected or any of the fore mentioned? The car will just sit there and crank away.

Hope this helps.

and where is that located? We've so far checked the alternater, and it was fine, still nothing it just wont start the car. I also wondered if it might be the starter. But it seems to be fine also. Just wont turn all the way over to keep the car started.

Turn all the way over, what does that mean, the starter stops cranking the engine before it starts? If it starts you mean it dies right away, very unclear what the condition is here.

It wants to start but its not catching. It doesn't die it just keeps trying to catch to keep itself running
