Is the battery turning the engine over as fast as it normally does. If not it could be a failing battery.

When trouble shooting a cranks but won't run condition it comes down to three things
Fuel, Fire, or Mechanical
- Fuel - Spray either or starting fluid into the air intake while trying to crank the vehicle. You may have fuel pressure but not enough, this will rule out a fuel problem. If it runs you have a fuel problem if it doesn't you don't.
- Fire - Check to see if you have spark. In your case you do, if it will jump the spark plug gap it's generally enough to run the engine. You can use a spark tester that tests for adequate spark.
- Mechanical - The engine has a mechanical problem that prevents the engine from running. For example a blown head gasket, broken timing belt or chain, or it's jumped time.
In your case I suspect a mechanical problem. Check the compression, also if you have a lab scope check the waveform on the crank sensor, if not you could try a crank sensor. It takes about an hour and requires removal of the starter to gain access.
