Default 01 Accord won't start

I've got a 2001 Accord V6 with 88k. Last night it cut off while idling in the driveway and I haven't been able to start it since. The starter cranks the engine just fine, but it just doesn't catch. I know it's not out of gas and it's not a dead battery. One thing I can think of is the timing belt, but the car didn't make any strange noises when it cut off. I would think a broken timing belt would be accompanied by some pretty awful noises since it's an interference engine. I also thought it might be plugs or plug wires, but usually when those go bad the car idles rough for a while before it shuts off altogether.

Any ideas or experience with this problem are appreciated. I've searched the forum but it's difficult to search for a string like "won't start" or "cut off."
