I have spark, fuel, no security light. all new components; plugs, wires, cap rotor. it is in time, but it will not start only turns over.

Do you have fuel pressure? Can you check this next? Do a scan as well as not all codes will set a check light.

Compression okay? valve timing checked and correct? injection pulse and a good spark? Check to see if the plugs are wet with fuel and advise please.
