If more than one is faulty it will. Generally the car can still start missing a cylinder. I doubt it would just be one. It's easy to check for spark though. Pull the plug out and set them on top of the valve cover. Have someone else turn it over and look for blue spark, best to do it at night when it's really easy to see. If that checks out I'd check for fuel pressure at the fuel rail. Then if all that checks out perhaps the starter or something else going on. How was the car before this happened?
