ok pull your first plug then attach the starter wire to it and hold it about 2 or 3mm away from the block, have a friend turn over the motor if it sparks you've got spark and make sure your fuel lines are not backwards Post back when you get this done

take a pic of your engine bay. If your maf/distributor/coolant sensor/injectors/iacv aren't plugged in your motor will not start.

normally if a vehicle has fuel, spark, and air it does fire. is it even attempting?

did you pull the fuel lines back off to make sure they are moving fuel? what about pulling the fuel rail up, having a friend crank it over and making sure your fuel injectors are actually working. also like the above post either check spark on each plug by taking it out of cylinder, plugging it back into the plug wire and holding it near a good metal conductor one by one.

there's a million reasons it isnt starting but without more information and or pics its hard to help
