V6 no start update (was: how do you test for spark?)

I tested for spark on the new-used coil I spliced into the
coil pack. I got spark on both sides.

I've got gas, I've got spark ... Air?  I pulled a spark plug
and cranked the engine over.  The seat-of-my-pants test showed
the piston was moving, so it isn't a broken timing belt.  The
spark plug didn't look too bad, but I'll be replacing them all
later today; maybe that will help.

I also pulled the air cleaner.  I could see through it, but
blew off some dust, took the dead mouse out of the air box,
and put it all back together.

I'm at a dead end, but I'm still open to suggestions.  I have
yet to try measuring voltage coming out of the POS. Nor do I
have an actual number for fuel pressure at the fuel rail.

If new plugs don't help, I'll have the car towed somewhere
and let a pro deal with it.  That's gonna hurt.
