I'm 99% sure that an oxygen sensor (or wiring to it) fault won't prevent the engine from starting, so don't rush into blaming that and only that.

I'm not too sure what else to suggest though.  Have the sparkplugs been looked at, and checked to see if they are sparking when the engine is being turned over?

I don't know the 4 pot at all ... but if it was a sudden "death" with no codes on the V6 I would suspect the cranksensor ..... :(
