First, you need to know/understand that the key fob has nothing to do with the engine starting and running. The key fob is strictly for locking and unlocking the doors. Sounds like the new key fob battery took care of that for you.
As for the engine not starting, there are a bunch of reasons why this might happen. Have you connected an OBD code reader to see what codes, if any, you have. This would greatly help the process. Are the spark plugs making spark? Are you getting gas to the cylinders?
I get the impression that you do not work on cars, and without more information, I can't go any further.

R U saying that the engine will turn over, but doesn't start or R U saying the engine will start but doesn't turn over? If you think that the engine will start, but doesn't turn over, then I would check your battery and the alternator to verify that the battery is being charged while the engine is running. Were you having any electrical or any other problems before this happened?
