There are lots of things that can cause the symptoms you are describing.
What was the air temperature when the problem occurred? Does the engine
turn over normally or does it turn over more quickly than normal? If the
engine turns over more quickly than normal, then the timing belt may have
broken (which kind of has something to do with compression).
How old is the battery in the car?
How many miles on the car?
An engine needs 3 things to run, at the appropriate times and amounts:
air,
fuel, and a source of ignition.
A fuel pressure regulator that is bleeding down can cause longer cranking
times but it won't keep the car from running. One clogged fuel injector
will not prevent the car from starting.
Check for air, fuel, and spark
