Car was driving along (in the rain) and died going up a small hill. It turns over and sometimes it gets a small puff of a fire (very little and I mean very little) at the end of the crank. We saw that the crank sensor had been slightly cut by a fan belt (the sensor broke off its post and the wire drooped into the belt). We replaced the sensor but still doesn't start. There is spark coming from all of the front 3 wires (2.5 engine). they don't look exceedingly hot but there is spark. There is gas as you can see that the plugs are wet after trying to start. We even tried to isolate the fuel and turned the pump off and tried starting fluid but still nothing.
The timing belt is still intact and we did replace it not all that long ago. Any ideas?
