stumped 2.3 engine not starting
Its a 1994 mazda b2300
It died at idle speed and would not start after. checked for spark, and fuel, and the timing seems right. the fuel pump can be heard kicking on when i turn the key, i pulled the spark plug wires and checked every one for spark and they all work. i'm so frustrated, and wondering if this is just a sign that i should get rid of it. can someone please help me brainstorm?
thanks in advance.

i have a new timing belt to put on it but, is there any other way than using a gear puller to get the crankshaft sprocket off? also the timing belt on there doesn't have any teeth missing.

Make sure you have fuel! You may hear a fuel pump but if yours is the same as my 87 there is two fuel pumps one on the frame rail and one in the tank. Find the fuel valve it should be around the back of the engine under the upper intake manifold and see if you have any fuel pressure there.
