Looking from the front of the car, follow the black plastic tube (~3" diam) that runs from the airbox (black plastic box in front to the right of the grille) to the metal engine intake. About where this tube passes the front suspension there's a trapezoidal gadget on the side of that tube, with a rectangular electrical plug plugged into it. There's probably a wire bail that has to be removed so that you can unplug it.
With the engine/key OFF, remove the wire bail and unplug the plug. Then try to start it.
You'll notice that there's a joint in the plastic tube on each side of the trapezoidal gadget, and there are metal hose clamps holding it together. You do not need to remove the clamps, this is for direction only. That thing with the plug and the clamps on each end is known as the Air Mass Meter (AMM), and if it's bad, you'll begin to have stalling at idle, progressively worsening until it won't start at all.
This could be several other things:
-air filter
-fuel filter (under the car) or also the intake "sock" in the tank
-fuel pump or pumps
-ignition stuff, like coil, distributor cap
-ECU (highly unlikely, very low failure rate in your car)
