first, check and see if the plugs are getting spark. if they are, check and see if the injectors are firing fuel. if they are, then you may have a compression problem.

Kathrine1, You state "it does not turn over". The ign module does not control the motor turning over, the starter does. Does you car have a automatic or manual transmission? Does it turn over but not start (fire)?

Rruddman, what you described was a starter drive that kicks out from the flywheel prior to the engine firing. You turn it over, it cranks for a few turns and stops cranking, is that what is happening? if it is, its a starter issue.
