No Start

My RX7 suddenly didn't start. The battery is still good. Engine does not turn over or attempt to start when key is turned. I think it might be something wrong with the plug, but I'm not very experienced with cars. I'd appreciate any ideas and help.

Automatic or manual? If it's a stick, you may have a bad clutch switch (senses when the clutch is fully depressed for safety). Try repeatedly depressing the clutch to see if that makes a difference.
