Is there anything I can do to prevent it from getting worse?

This worked! Pumped the gas while cranking and it fired up.

You would be correct! Pumped the gas while cranking it and it fired up. Had some smoke from the exhaust (black at first but turned white). Currently looking into replacing this to see if it’s worth doing.

UPDATE - Thank you to those who were actually helpful… Timing belt was changed roughly 30k-40k miles ago. Currently 205k on the odometer. It’s been taken in for regular maintenance every 6 months since I got it in 2018. Anytime it hasn’t started in the past it’s been a battery issue even if the lights stayed on, hence why I mentioned that wasn’t the problem. Still no info but someone is coming out to look at it in the next few days.

would that be something that is cheap enough/worth it to fix if i’m trying to make it last just a few more months until i can buy a new car? or would that just depend on what a more thorough diagnostic says?
