Um with that brief of description, it could be any one of 4-5 things.
Starter
Battery
Crank angle sensor
Dirty TB
Bad ground somewhere

Well I hate to say that but welcome to my world. I have the same problem. Before I had to crank my max 5-10 times and it would start but week ago it just stop starting at all. It cranks normally but does not start. As far as I know my car does not get a spark from spark plug. I used negative another car does not start, cleaned my TB did not help, checked injectors. So let me know if u will find the problem with ur max just email me sashka83@yahoo.com
