The starter cranks the engine fine, but the engine won't start, right?

Any CEL codes? Check for spark and listen for whether the fuel pump primes.

When you turn the key to ON(II), does the CEL turn on and then off after 2 seconds or does it remain on steady? Click here:

When you turn the key to ON(II), do you hear the low humming/buzzing noise of the fuel pump priming for 2 seconds in the rear?

Do you have bright white spark at the plugs. Click the Spark link in my signature.

Good.

When you get a chance to check for spark, post the results.

Check that battery voltage reaches the coil and igniter unit inside the distributor with the key in ON(II).

Test the coil and igniter unit in the distributor.

Check whether the timing belt snapped.
