Is your fuel pump working, when you turn your key u should hear it hummmmm, if not check your fuel pump relay under the hood on the passenger side near the front.(pretty sure that's where it would be), if its not the relay then its the pump....

not to be rude or anything, but he said that theres NO spark, so i dont think that the problem has to do with fuel problems. I would suggest double checking all of your electrical connections and such to make sure that nothing is loose or something... like make sure that the plugs and the little connectors that go on top of them are all contacting correctly and such. also, did you make sure to connect that little electrical plug that plugs into that metal plate thing that the coil packs are in, and on top of it says Quad or whatever. if all your connections look good, then i would start looking at stuff in the ignition system that you haven't yet replaced recently that could possibly have gone bad and such. other than that, it should have spark. unless theres some sort of safety sensor or something that is tripping up and cutting off your spark? Hope this helps you some at least.
