By wont start, do you mean, wont crank or cranks and wont start? Are your dash light indicators lighting up when key is in the on position? Can you give a little more info, please?

Sounds like an electrical problem if multiple systems are affected. You should check all fuses (in engine compartment and under dash). Also try to get your battery voltage read.

Well I don't think the chime is related, but based on what you said, it sounds like a fuel delivery problem. When you turn the key on (without starting car) you should hear the fuel pump kick on for about 2 seconds and then turn off. If you do not hear this from the rear of the car, the fuel pump itself or the wiring to the fuel pump is bad.
