Two strong possibilities.
1) Over Voltage Protection Relay - silver box with a fuse in it on the firewall near the brake booster. Dry joints inside can cause it to cut off power to the ignition and fuel systems, meaning it will turn over but not start.
2) Crank Position Sensor, if it stops working, no ignition pulses are generated; again, it will turn over but not start.
Had both these faults on mine. There's another issue I'm chasing right now where it will not turn over when left idling for some time and switched off.

That sounds like a crank angle sensor to me.
