Not enough detail to even remotely help you. Not start as in the engine is being turned over by the starter but does not fire - or not start as in it does not get turned by the starter. IE is the starter operating or not.
Did it die after you started driving or did you switch it off and now it won't start.
All very unclear.
Was there any noises when it died?.
if it cranks does it sound normal?.

That can be many many things. You need to get it scanned and see what faults it shows.
Can be anything form a failed cam position sensor to a crank position sensor to a dead fuel pump in the tank to a failed management box etc etc. i can probably name about 50 things so guessing at it is o good. Some basic diagnosis will also help - is there spark? Does the management show low and high fuel pressure when you crank it - does it show rpm etc etc. Just taking a wild guess will get you nowhere.
