Default Mystery!! 2000 Focus Won't Start??

I've got a good one here. I've got a 2000 Focus LX with roughly 97,000 miles. The engine cranks but won't turn over. Fuel pump appears to be working andfuel preasure is within acceptable ranges (43psi), I have spark out of the ignition coil amd appear to be getting compression. Conventional wisdom says it should start.

The car died while sitting at an intersection and I haven't been able to get it started since. Frustrating!! Any help would be much appreceiated!
