1995 Ford Escort, 165k miles, stick. Last major maintenance at about 70k miles. Filters and fluids changed regularly. Several months ago died completely dead - replaced positive battery terminal and all has been good.

Pulled up to light and engine died quietly. Power for AC/Radio/Lights still working. Wouldn't restart.

Car turns over well, but won't start. Replaced fuel filter. Fuel everywhere, but didn't fix (didn't really expect it to, just easy and cheap).

Tried to restart several hours later, still same thing.

These cars lose timing belts all the time and then have the same symptom as you have. Have someone crank the car and watch if the belt is moving under the top cover.
