Default help please!! my 1994 ford escort wont start

I was driving home and my 1994 ford escort lx 1.9l manual died. It just shut down but didn't hesitate or shake when it did so. I have lights in the dash and it turns over but won't start. I checked the timing belt which is less then 2 years old and its fine. Im getting good spark and i have fuel with good pressure at the rail and have plenty of gas. My car does have one problem, the heater core leaks. I am wondering if my ecm is bad since its located directly under the heater core. Do you think this is my problem and if so can any other year escort's ecm work for my car? also I got computer code 33 which is egr valve which i cleaned out!! any help would be awesome.

thanx
