If you're getting fuel and spark and the starter and battery are good, then it should start unless something serious is wrong - such as a broken timing chain, PCM, etc. So let's start with the easy stuff first:

        Give us a little more info and I'm sure we can help you figure out the problem.

        How have you verified fuel delivery? What is the fuel pressure? Are the fuel injectors firing? If you remove a spark plug after trying to start is it "wet"?

        Are there any codes in the computer?

        If you are sure you are getting fuel and spark, is there any chance you have bad fuel? If so, carefully squirt some ether into the intake and try and start it. Also, check the vacuum lines at the tree on the drivers side by the firewall.
