Did you check the fuel rail for pressure? If you have then check injectors for pulse. You can do this with a logic probe or use an inductive pickup timing light on one of the injector wires. If you have no fuel pressure have a look at the fuel pump relay, main fuel pump, in tank pre pump. Do you have less than 1/2 tank of gas? Look at in tank pre pump. If you have no injector pulse look at radio supression relay (it powers the injectors) Good luck, tell us what you find.

UPDATE : The timing belt is shreded and barley hanging on.
The morning it died I heard a slapping noise under the hood.
Must have jumped time because I can get it to run but barley.
