Let's see, no start. I'd start with making sure you can hear the fuel 
pump running when you turn the key to the "ON" position (not start). 
After making sure you have fuel, the next thing to check is spark.

Haven't some people had problems the with cam sensor going bad and 
causing a "no start" condition. I'm not sure how to test it, but I do 
know it's on the driver's side head at the rear.

Had to leave it and call a friend for a ride.  Came back later to try again.  Turns over fine and no fire.  Really strange, the car had ben running fine and was exhibiting no symptons up to the time I parked it. Unfortunately, it's -15 degrees F. and I am not about to be working outside trying to pull codes with the jumper wire.  The problem could be a number of issues.
