Default 2004 Santa Fe 3.5l wont start

Like the title says the Santa fe was running fine when parked then 2 days later went to start it and all it will do is crank. It is getting fuel and spark so im stumped. Scanned the computer and no codes were found. Any advice would be appreciated before i have to have it towed to a shop.

No expert here
So, all guess work here

If it is getting fuel and spark then it must be the mixture?
Idle Air Control, PCV, EGR, Purge Valve?
Too much fuel and not enough air and it won't ignite?
Too much air and not enough fuel and same thing?

Should take the oil fill cap off and watch the valves as someone helps crank the engine
If valves do not move then could be timing belt?
Can you check the timing?

If valves do move then can you do a compression test?

If the exhaust is clogged then it will also not start?

Check all fuses and relays
That is usually my first step just to make sure the electrical part is okay
It is fairly simple and easy.

Good luck
