Pretty wide open question and the possibilities are endless. Likely either no spark or no fuel pressure. My first guess would be fuel. Find the schrader valve in the fuel rail. It will look very similar to the A/C fittings on the older R-12 AC systems that were used prior to 1994. When you turn on the ignition switch, the fuel pump should run for a couple seconds and then press in the schrader valve. You should get a good spray. If there is no pressure or only a little dribble, then the fuel pump is not running. Not likely that the fuel pump would go bad before 100K miles. Also Chrysler products are noted for the fuel pump relay going bad. If you find that you have good fuel pressure, then you need to check for spark. If you have no spark, that opens another can of worms and many possibilites, but most likely the ignition module or the Hall Effect pick-up coil. Not sure if you have a crankshaft position sensor but that is a good possibility. Good Luck
Answerif the engine doesnt turn over but attempts to start, the engine may not be getting spark or there may be no gas to combust. There might be a lack of compression in the cylinders and a compression test will tell you if theres a leak. This is a wide open question (as are most on this site) and we need more specific information
