I saw what you replaced. Did you do any testing? Did you visually check for spark at the spark plugs, engine cranking? To check for spark, you can pull a spark plug wire loose, use a spark tester or known good spark plug in the boot, don't pull a spark plug out of engine. A spark tester from your local auto store doesn't cost much. You ground spark tester to metal part of engine. Have helper crank it while you watch for spark. If you have spark everywhere, use a gage and check fuel pressure. Some of the national brand autostores will loan out a gage. You may have to put up a deposit, but, you get it back.

Last but not least, you check for applicable trouble codes. If your obd1, the datalink connector should be located by your battery.
