Anton,
If the car can't be jump started (i.e. it turns over, but no cigar) then I would check 2 systems: Fuel Delivery and Ignition.
Fuel Delivery:
Fuel pump fuse
Fuel pump relay - located above the ECU pass. side kick panel beneath glove box
Fuel filter clogged ? Loose fuel line? Fuel pump ?
I hate to say it- but is there enough gas in the tank ? (simple things get overlooked)
Ignition System:
Distributor cap, rotor, hall sensor
Coil
General Electrical stuff:
Make sure there are no fuses blown
Check ground locations (one beneath the radiator, one on engine block, others underneath the rear seat and in the dash)
Inspect the battery cables (pos. and neg.) make sure the insulation isn't peeling/chafing etc.
Battery- is it old? Is there enough water in it ?(you can lift up the vent caps and take a peek at the water level - make sure all the plates are covered with fluid)
In any case - a new battery can't hurt, but make sure you've covered some of these things too. Good luck and let me know what you find.
