Re: getting fuel and spark but no start
Are you getting the right amount of pressure at the fuel rail?

The cover for the belt is right in front of the valve cover. Pull it back and look. It takes 5 seconds.
You also can remove the oil cap and crank the engine to see if the can is turning. However it is better to pull the cover back in case it is still there but loose and jumped time.

Fyj: if you can't figure out how to check the timing belt I doubt you will be safely able to do the required fuel pressure tests.

Re: getting fuel and spark but no start
Also just because you have fuel pressure does not mean the injectors are firing. your crank sensor may have just taken a dump.
modelageek: I agree this could also be a timing belt

if all else fails see if you can get him to check the compression. even if it just skipped a tooth or two the compression is usually crap across the board. just a thought..

^^^ This. Before you do anything else, check this and check this first. It's a visual inspection, he gave you good advice and two ways to do it.
