Okay, I have replaced fuel pump, starter, battery, and ignition switch. Car cranks but still wont start. Not sure what to try anymore. Would anyone have any ideas as to why it won't start?

Good morning,

Did you check for spark to the plugs?

When you crank the engine, does the tachometer move up on the dash?

Can you hear the fuel pump run when you turn on the key?

Yes to everything and I even checked the timing chain and it's all lined up.

What is the fuel pressure?

What is the compression?
