Why won't my Mazda 2003 tribute won't start?
Car is getting sufficient fuel and spark but won't start.
Is this a good question?

Check wires! Mine somehow shorted out. The wiring harness for the engine goes behind and between the alternator and starter. I think there was a clip holding it up away from the heat because I found some plastic pieces broken back there same color/size as others. No idea what it was supposed to look like before. Anyway that part of the harness’s wires melted causing a short to either the starter or alternator. I'm still trying to figure out which one. Not easy to access! Hope this helps a little.

@moonblue have you tried to get the OBD scanned? what have you checked? How do you know that it is "getting sufficient fuel"? You checked the fuel pressure?
